222. I Stand Amazed

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 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]

5 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]
