i stand amazed (D)

I stand amazed in the presence

of Jesus the Nazarene

and wonder how he could love me,

a sinner condemned, unclean.

For me he prayed in the garden

and bowed to the will divine.

He had no tears for his own griefs,

but sweat drops of blood for mine.

How marvellous! How wonderful!

This our song shall ever be:

How marvellous! How wonderful

is my Saviour’s love for me!

In pity angels beheld him

and came from the world of light

to comfort him in the sorrows

he bore for my soul that night.

He took my sins and my sorrows

and made them his very own.

He bore the burden to Calvary

and suffered and died alone.

How marvellous! How wonderful!

This our song shall ever be:

How marvellous! How wonderful

is my Saviour’s love for me!

When with the ransomed in glory

his face I at last shall see,

my joy will be through the ages

to sing of his love for me.

How marvellous! How wonderful!

This our song shall ever be:

How marvellous! How wonderful

is my Saviour’s love for me!

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

Luke 22:42
