I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus, the Nazarene,
And wonder how how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
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.
How marvelous! how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous, how wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.
How marvelous! how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous, how wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!
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.
How marvelous! how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous, how wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!
Words and music by Charles H Gabriel.
