I Stand All Amazed

So, they, the missionary department...side note...when I used to work for Papa Murphy's Pizza, it was locally owned and was franchised. From time to time "Corporate" would come in and do inspections and fix any problems that were happening. Every time I would hear the word Corporate I would cringe and grimace and the sound effect of "DUN DUN DUUNNN" would go thru my head. Well, when the missionary department calls, I get those same effects...un-side note...have asked us to create a blog about our endeavors and as I was looking around at the other missionaries who did blogs they came up with catchy names and phrases and did really, really awesome blogs. I couldn't really think of any cool name or phrase that would catch people's interest or be really fun or exciting, so I decided to name my blog "I Stand All Amazed." This is my favorite hymn in the mormon hymnal and gets me choked up everytime. Well, the experiences I will share on this will "Amaze" me, but more importantly, everytime I get on I will be reminded of this song that I love very much. So, that's my story. Here are the lyrics:

193
I Stand All Amazed

Thoughtfully

I Stand All Amazed, no. 193

1. 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!

2. 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.

3. 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.

Text and music: Charles H. Gabriel, 1856–1932
