I Stand All Amazed

I Stand All Amazed, Hymn #193

1. 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!

2. 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.

3. I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the 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.

Abundance Is All Around

"Abundance is all around." This was one of many quotes written in sidewalk chalk near the institute building today. This morning as I was getting ready for the day I was thinking about abundance and have been throughout the day. This morning I talked to Heavenly Father about it and I have seen abundance of goodness- hope, faith, love, and beauty. Heavenly Father loves me and I know He loves you. Today I saw and felt His love for me in oh so many ways! He is into the details of my life! I received answers and comfort today. How awesome is our Father in Heaven? Today I was blessed with seeing many friends on campus- two of them I haven't seen in ages. It was so good to visit with Heather and Corryn and then run in to Ashton and Aaron. I have been thinking about of my favorite passages of scripture in The Book of Mormon today- Alma 7:23-24. Heavenly Father blesses-with love, listens, beauty, hope, faith, goodness, and opportunities to become more like Him each day. I love Him and desire to continue to see, do, and become what He desires of me. Oh how He loves us! Masaya Ang Aking Puso :)
