277. My Savior's Love

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]
