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 suffered, he bled and died
Chorus:
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me
Oh, it is wonderful
Wonderful to me
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
(Repeat chorus)
I think of his hands, pierced and bleeding to pay my 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
I especially love this line.
Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.
How could a holy God forgive me of the penalty of my horrible, disgusting sins though this simple grace found though the sacrifice and suffering of the atonement! Grace saves me from eternal torment.
These word. Remember them....I tremble to know that for me he was crucified.
Amen. Look how He suffered, died and rose again for us. Praise His Holy Name.
