Mark Fritchman unpacks the hymn "How Deep the Father's Love for Us" and the question under it: what do you think about when you think about God?

Week 2 of Hymns. Why the church sings, and who we sing to: God made us to sing, and he sings over us (Zephaniah 3, verse 17). Then Mark takes up A. W. Tozer's line that what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us: Jesus shows us the Father, and our own father wounds bend that picture. He invites us to ask, seek and knock (Matthew 7), then reads the hymn line by line with the Scripture behind each one.
