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!
Born of the Spirit with life from above Into God's fam'ly 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.
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.
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.
