"I Stand All Amazed" is my favorite hymn. I love this hymn because it perfectly describes how I feel. I stand all amazed every single day at the goodness of my life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This blog is going to be completely dedicated to the things that make me stand all amazed. Below is the text of the hymn that touches my heart:


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.

Chorus

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.

Chorus


Do you stand all amazed?
