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