I shared this in a blog I had a few years ago but it kind of follows the last one I posted earlier and it goes along with this week! I hope you get the message you need!
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.
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.
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.
OH, IT IS WONDERFUL THAT HE
SHOULD CARE FOR ME
ENOUGH TO DIE FOR ME!
OH, IT IS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL TO
ME!
WOW!!!! How inspired was this man? I can only
imagine how he felt as he wrote these words.
I am one who LOVES, LOVES, LOVES music and what it
does to my mind and soul. Music is so powerful especially when I don't just
sing words but really read and feel them. I have had so many blessings come to
me through music and probably even more than I know.
I get very emotional when I sing certain hymns.
Mostly those that have to do with my Savior and reminding me of what He has
done for me and continues to do each and every day. It helps to remind me that
all I am and all I do and all there is, is because of Him and for that I am
soooo very grateful! But also because of that I can become emotional as I sing
these type of hymns.
The one above is notorious for doing that to me but
today was different.
I don't know why of how but I had an overwhelming
experience with this hymn today. Maybe it's because I hadn't realized that I
had chosen this hymn until on my way to church today and just a few days ago I
was talking with someone about this very hymn and how meaningful it is to me
and to the person I was talking with. As I stood to direct this hymn I search
for this person in the congregation. Needless to say he was not there, I'm sure
he was in some stake meeting or something because his family was there. But as
I sang and really thought about each and every word I had this feeling come
over me.
Yes, I was grateful for what my Savior has done for
me.
Yes, I am a sinner and yet He still loves me and
suffered all that He did for me and all my screw ups in the future.
Yes, I felt I WAS at His feet!
I felt soooooooo happy. It was a feeling I hope to
never forget but I know it's not one that happens often. I believe He helped me
to feel as proud and as strong and as confident about what I was singing than I
ever have before. To me I felt I was bearing testimony of MY feelings! I felt
that me face was going to burst because my smile was so big. And that my heart
would jump out of my body because I felt so strong and such conviction!!
I did STAND ALL AMAZED! And for that I am most thankful!!!!!!!!!!!
