Sometimes when I'm at church, I'm paying enough attention to what is being said or sung to be really genuinely touched. That happened to me today while singing one of the hymns.

I Stand All Amazed

Charles H. Gabriel

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.

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.

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.

Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me enough to die for me!

Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
