I'm Amazed
I have felt so much darkness, I've lived in such despair,
As I've struggled with my weaknesses and the burdens that I bear,
But then I hear a whisper, Something says Your name.
I lift my eyes and see the cross that takes away my shame!
And I'm amazed that You love me!
I'm amazed that You care!
I'm amazed at Your compassion!
There's nothing that compares to the mercy You've shown me!
I've never known such grace!
And I want to just say "Thank You!" and tell You, "I'm amazed!"
I've had questions inside me, I've struggled with such doubt.
Could this really be the answer? Is this what life's about?
But then I look to Jesus ~ God's embodied love,
The unearned gift for all mankind, a pardon from above!
Could it be that You could really love me?
Do You really value me so much?
And can it be that I could even finally rest from striving
And let You heal me with Your gentle touch?!
