Author: John W. Peterson Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #449 (1982) First Line: O what a wonderful, wonderful day Refrain First Line: Heaven came down and glory filled my soul Lyrics: 1 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!
Refrain:
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!
2 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 the offer
Of grace He did proffer-
He saved me, O praise His dear name! [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Topics: Choir Selections; Testimony, Witness and Evangelism Languages: English Tune Title: [O what a wonderful, wonderful day]
