This was one of my favorite congregational hymns when I was a teenager. The trend today is to sing this beloved hymn in a quiet, meditative style – but in past decades, it was more of a marching song for the Church – and our new eight-bell arrangement is written with that in mind!
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus, the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean.
Refrain:
How marvelous, how wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous, how wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!
