I Stand Amazed
I stand amazed at the goodness of God,
His mercy and mighty power,
His compassion and tender, loving care,
His presence in the darkest hour.
Amazed at His comfort in times of grief,
His strength in the hardest day,
Sufficient grace in the time of need,
Forgiveness when we go astray.
Amazed when He calms the angry storm,
Even more at the peace in the midst,
The secure anchor that always holds,
Giving underlying joy and bliss.
Amazed, not just when He grants a request,
But when He protects by denying a plea,
And those times when He has us wait,
More grace than ever we see.
Nothing is too hard for the God we serve,
By His power He sets us free;
I Stand Amazed, not at what He can do,
But that He would do it for me.
"I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
and I will glorify thy name forevermore."
(Ps.86:12)
