1. Oh, what a wonderful day,
Oh, what a wonderful day, Day I will never forget, After I’d wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour I met Oh, what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart; Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling He made all the darkness depart!
Born of the Spirit with life from above Into God’s family divine; Justified fully through Calvary’s love Oh, what a standing is mine! And the transaction so quickly was made When as a sinner I came Took of the offer of grace He did proffer He saved me, Oh, praise His dear Name
Now I’ve a hope that will surely endure After the passing of time; I have a future in Heaven for sure, There is those mansions sublime And it’s because of that wonderful day When at the Cross I believed; Riches and eternal and blessings supernal From His righteous hand I received
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul When at the Cross the Saviour made me whole; My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
