Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #204 (1916) Hymnal Title: The New Praiseworthy First Line: I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me Refrain First Line: Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me Lyrics: 1 I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me;
I tremble to know that for me He was crucified,
That for me a sinner, He suffer'd, He bled and died.
Chorus:
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me, (wonderful)
Enough to die for me! (wonderful)
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
2 I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine,
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine;
That He should extend His great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem and to justify. [Chorus]
3 I think of His hands, pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy-seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at His feet. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me]
Oh, It Is Wonderful!
