This piece brings much needed peace to my heart in moments of trial. It reminds me that not only does our Savior forgive us of all our sins against him - all our lies to him, our broken promises and covenants, our treacherous betrayals through kisses - he even died so that we might not have to pay the full price of justice and he paid the debt of guilt, sorrow, and pain forward so that when we hurt him (as he knew perfectly that we would) we could suffer less and quicker return unto him. How grateful I am for our perfect example of love Jesus Christ, and how I stand all amazed at his perfect love and forgiveness.
193 I Stand All Amazed Thoughtfully 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. [Chorus] Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me Enough to die for me! Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me! 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. [Chorus] Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me Enough to die for me! Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
My 2 very favorite conference musical numbers in the last 10 years were from BYU. This one, and "I Love the Lord/Be Still My Soul". Would love to hear more from them. Beautiful and touching performances.
Top 5 all time best songs, performances at conference. Beautifully arranged, fervently sung, gloriously received from the Lord (I'd be willing to guess)
