'I stand amazed' lyrics
I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how he could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Chorus: How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be; How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior's love for me!
For me it was in the garden He prayed, "Not my will, but thine;" He had no tears for his own griefs, But sweat drops of blood for mine. [Chorus]
He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them his very own; He bore the burden to Calv'ry, And suffered and died alone. [Chorus]
When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, 'Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of his love for me. [Chorus]
