i stand amazed in the presence

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 In pity angels beheld him
and came from the world of light
to comfort him in the sorrows
he bore for my soul that night
(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)
