I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
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.
He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.

In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.

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.
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone.

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.
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.

The Lord always leads me to a song whenever I am going through life challenges and this is one of them. A sinner like me, can only depend on the savior's love through the blood of Jesus the Christ that was shared on the cross. For give me Lord! Even now! And set me free from the things that hold me captive. I wants to be free Lord!! Amen!

I love this hymn so much. In many ways, it's my personal testimony. I've arranged to have this sung at my funeral. Shame I won't be there so sing it! I'll be at Home in Heaven, standing before my Saviour, Lord and King, and thanking Him, for His great love and mercy to me, throughout my days on earth. Hope to see you there!

One of the songs I remember my mother singing as she prepared meals for the family. No doubt, this generation is missing out on a glorious heritage by not having them sang in our homes and churches today.

This is no doubt one of the most powerful hymns ever written which tells the whole salvation story.

Amazed by His never ending Love. What an Almighty God would not do for His Creation.

Preston, I think you nailed it, that this is just a poetic way of saying that Jesus loves us more than He loves Himself. In the garden of Gethsemane, for example, Jesus was full of sorrow and grief.

This song brings back so many memories of my late 30s to 1940s childhood. Some of the favorites were Mama and my older sister playing the piano.
