“I am amazed . . . “
God blessed in an amazing way recently in seeing an individual commit their life to God.
Upon reflecting on the step this individual took, several songs came to mind.
One of them was the song “I Am Amazed” by A. H. Ackley.
The first lines go like this:
“I am amazed that God would ever love me
So full of sin, so covered o’er with shame –
Make me to walk, with Him Who is above me,
Cleansed by the power of His redeeming name.”
-A.H. Ackley
The following is an excellent piano rendition of the song:

fyi – One Spanish translation is as follows:
Maravillado Estoy
Maravillado estoy que Dios me amara,
Tan pecador, cubierto de maldad;
Que me hiciera andar en su presencia,
Purificado por su santidad.
Maravillado estoy que Dios me amara,
Solo Jesus mi culpa borrara;
Por fe en Jesus obtengo vida eterna,
Por siempre morare con El en Sion.
