Selah is known for their rich harmonies, reverent delivery, and a ministry built on helping believers return to timeless truths. Their arrangements often bring new emotional depth to classic hymns and worship standards. With “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us,” Selah draws listeners into the heart of the gospel, allowing the simplicity of the melody and the weight of the lyrics to speak plainly. Their style reflects a desire to honor Scripture and uplift the Church with songs that endure.
This song draws us into the quiet, overwhelming reality of the cross—where God’s love is not sentimental but sacrificial, costly, and deeply personal. Selah’s version carries a tender reverence that highlights the intimate exchange: our sin placed on Christ, His righteousness offered to us. The song invites worship not through emotion alone, but through awe at a God who loves with intent, purpose, and unfathomable depth.
The costliness of love: Christ’s sacrifice reveals a love that chooses suffering for the sake of the beloved.
Personal responsibility: The cross reminds us that our sin matters—and Christ willingly bore it.
The Father’s intention: Redemption was not reactionary but deliberate and rooted in love.
Humility of salvation: We bring nothing; God gives everything.
The right response: Awe, gratitude, and a life shaped by the love we’ve received.
The quiet victory: Christ’s resurrection proves that suffering love triumphs over darkness.
