O what a wonderful, wonderful day
Day I will never forget;
After I'd wandered in darkness away,
Jesus my Savior I met.
O 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!
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior made me whole.
My sins were washed away,
and my night was turned to day
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
Born of the Spirit with life
from above in to God's fam'ly divine,
Justified fully through Calvary's love,
O 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, O 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 in those mansions sublime.
And it's because of that wonderful
day when at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal and blessings supernal
from His precious hand I received.
