Oh It Is Wonderful

So today in my Book Of Mormon class I'm not super sure what we were talking about it was early and I was exhausted, but Brother Bytheway {Yes folks, I mean the one and only John Bytheway} shared a poem with us. I have been thinking about it all day. It goes like so:

Powerful stuff eh? I know that on Sunday you will definitely find me thinking about something other than the zillion papers and projects I have due next week, and the finals that are coming up, and how the heck i'm supposed to get money for Christmas stuff and pay rent and get home and still eat. YIKES! But that is why I'm so grateful for the Sabbath. I can relax a little, thank my Heavenly Father for all I've been given, and partake of the great sacrifice His son performed for me. I've always loved the hymn I Stand All Amazed for the words.

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

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 my 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

I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me
Secure in the promise of life in his victory
Thus ransomed from death I will live to my Savior's praise
And sing of his goodness and mercy through endless days

It really is wonderful. And How grateful I am for it.
