Choosing a favorite song is very difficult. Just like choosing a favorite color, or a favorite food or even a favorite Bible verse. Why do I have to only pick one?!?!?!?!? (Yes, that is said with a frustrated cry!)
I love a all kinds of colors, too many Bible verses to put a number on it, songs and music-lets just go with the flow and sing! And of course food...oh, I. Love. Food.
Choosing a favorite of anything depends on my mood...today I am feeling amazed. The song going through my head is one that my mom considers one of her favorites and I have to agree. Sometimes with a song you should just read the words. It gives a deeper meaning to the words and you'll begin to see that song in a new light.
I Stand Amazed
I
stand amazed in the presence
of
Jesus the Nazarene,
and
wonder 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.
In
pity angels beheld him,
and
came from the world of light
to
comfort him in the sorrows
he
bore for my soul that night.
He
took my sins and my sorrows,
he
made them his very own;
he
bore the burden to Calvary,
and
suffered and died alone.
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.
Chorus:
How
marvelous! How wonderful!
And
my song shall ever be:
How
marvelous! How wonderful
is
my Savior's love for me!
This song just puts it so wonderfully and I am so overwhelmed by the Lord's love and care for someone like me.
