Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#576

576. I Stand Amazed in the Presence

1 I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus the Nazarene,
and wonder how He could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain:
How marvelous! how wonderful!
and my song shall ever be;
how marvelous! how wonderful!
is my Savior’s love for me!

2 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. [Refrain]

3 He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
and suffered and died alone. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
