Amazed by A.H. Ackley (“I Am Amazed that God Would Ever Love Me”)

“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.

Audio CDs of Spanish hymnal – great resource!

Oh, yes, am I excited about this!  This is an item I’ve looked for and hoped for (or something similar) for quite some time.  You may be searching for a CD of Spanish hymns – good, Godly hymns in the Spanish language.   Grabaciones de Selecciones de Himnos de la iglesia is a group of two CDs featuring each song in the hymnal Selecciones de Himnos de la iglesia.  It features men singing the first verse of each song.  It is performed a cappella, and the men sing in vocal parts.

 

It contains songs such as Holy, Holy, Holy (Santo, Santo, Santo), It Is Well (Estoy bien con mi Dios), What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Oh, que amigo nos es Cristo, and even Joy to the World (¡Al mundo paz!).

 

If you are wishing to learn Spanish Christian songs, this would be ideal, or if you enjoy singing Spanish hymns, this would likewise be a fun resource for you.  Missionario? – ¡perfecto!
