I stand amazed in the presence

This hymn is glorious, absolutely! There are so so many glorious hymns , but this one , for me , clarifies the glory that OUR SAVIOUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF AND OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, has promised us all and confirmed that what lies ahead for us all , if we only simply, give our souls to HIM , is unimaginable paradise! Many times ( especially as we are all suffering greatly with the demonic virus) I sit and ponder . Why oh why don’t people simply ask JESUS to help them with whatever it is that life brings! Trouble , strife , hunger , death , illness , financial problems, family dysfunction etc; anything, everything ! The answer , my friend is not “ blowing in the wind “ , ! The answer is JESUS CHRIST! For HE IS ONLY AN ARMS LENGTH AWAY! GOD OUR FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT , WILL PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL ! HE DOES AND HE WILL . TODAY TOMORROW AND FOREVER AND ETERNITY! AMEN 🙏

My daughter that died love this song when I listen to this song it reminds me of my daughter.

This song has so much wonderful truth in it that makes my heart sing. I am glad if Chris Tomlin has helped to bring us back to singing it, but he did not write the words or the tune - they were both written by Charles Gabriel who lived in the late 1800s and went to be ‘with the ransomed in glory’ in 1932 :)

I was listening to this song done by Steph Macleod and in the second stanza, because of his Scottish accent, I thought I heard "I shed no tears for him, but He sweat drops of blood for me." So I came to this site and discovered it is actually "He had no tears for His own griefs,

But sweat-drops of blood for mine.".

Which is a great line by Chris Tomlin; but I sit here with tears about such a thing and the love He loved us with despite my wretchedness, about the idea of what I thought I heard.

"3 He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted." Isaiah 53:3-4
New American Standard Bible 1995

Thank you I needed song this morning! Looked for it but couldn’t find it in any song book! I look for the words and your site was pulled up! 👍❤️I just needed to sing it for my morning devotional to Jesus this morning! 🎄🙏🎼🎹

This song confronts me always with the immeasurable love of God. And especially now in this great moment of trauma, I’m reminded that God’s love for us is marvelous and wonderful. Above all, I’m assured again of a here-after in glory with Him. Hallelujah!!!
