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 needs
of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling He made all the
darkness depart.
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
When at the cross my saviour made me whole
My sins were washed away and my night was turned
to day.
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
1. Born of the spirit with life from above into God's family
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 His offer of grace He did offer, He saved me,
O praise His dear name!
2. Now I have 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 the cross
I believed;
Riches eternal and blessing supernal, From His precious
hand I received.
