About this Hymn
This song is written from the perspective of someone humbled by spiritual brokenness and in awe of redeeming love. The act of that redemption—from Jesus' agonizing in the garden to dying on a cross—grants us access to a brighter day, when we will meet our Redeemer face to face and declare his marvelous, wonderful love.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus, the Nazarene, and wonder how he could love me, a sinner condemned, unclean.
Chorus
How marvelous! How wonderful! and my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! is my Savior's love for me!
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
He took my sins and my sorrows; he made them his very own. He bore the burden to Calv'ry, and suffered and died alone.
Verse 4
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.
