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.

Sing along! Cry for JOY along!
When you hit a certain age and spiritual depth, suddenly the urge to "shout and dance and jump a pew" is overtaken with the rich humbling reality of the depth of God's Love through the cross. So your response may be to just sit, stand, fall on your face, and weep in sheer joy!

What a joy to hear these comments from around the world! I am putting together some hymns to play to, and sing with residents in a retirement home whether they have faith in Jesus or not, this hymn will speak the gospel to them!
I gave my life to Jesus when I was 12, I am now 87 and recently lost a leg but I can still get around in a wheelchair and talk to people about Jesus. Praise the Lord!
