Reformed Press Hymnal ‎#30

30. Oh, It Is Wonderful

1 I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me;
I tremble to know that for me He was crucified —
That for me a sinner, He suffered, He bled, and died.

Refrain:
Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me!
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

2 I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine,
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine;
That He should extend His great love unto such as I;
Sufficient to own, to redeem and to justify. [Refrain]

3 I think of His hands, pierc'd and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no! I will praise and adore at the mercy-seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at His feet. [Refrain]
