O what a wonderful, wonderful day – day I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour 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 Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away –
And my night was turned to day –
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
Verse 2
Born of the Spirit with life
from above into God’s family divine,
Justified fully thru 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!
Verse 3
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.
