I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me. A sinner, condemned, unclean.Refrain:

How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:

How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calv’ry, And suffered and died alone.

Refrain::“Since Jesus Came into My Heart”...................................Number 515

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought Since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I have sought, Since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, Since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll, Since Jesus came into my heart.

“Something Beautiful”......................................................Number 519Something beautiful, something good; All my confusion He understood. All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, But He made something beautiful of my life.
