Oh Glorious Day

So this song has been out for several months now and since the first time I heard it, I was deeply moved. I finally decided to purchase the CD when I saw that it was on sale for $6 on iTunes. As I do with any song after purchasing, I immediately listened to it on my computer. I had downloaded the lyrics so when I listened to it, I was able to read/sing along. By the end of the chorus, I was moved to tears. As I sang the words of this song, I was crying harder and harder to the point that I couldn't even read the words anymore. The words of this song are so incredibly powerful. To even try to begin to understand what Jesus has endured for me is just unimaginable. Take the time to click here and listen to this song. Rather than watch the video, follow along with the lyrics. I pray that you will be moved as I was just a few days ago.

One day when heaven
Is filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to
Be born of a virgin
He dwelt among men, my example is He

Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified
Freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day

One day they led Him
Up calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him
To die on a tree
Suffering anguish
Despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose o'er
Death He had conquered
Now is ascended
My lord evermore

Chorus

One day the trumpet will
Sound for His coming
One day the skies with His
Glories will shine
Wonderful day
My beloved was bringing
Glorious Savior this Jesus is mine

Chorus

One day the trumpet will
Sound for His coming
One day the skies with His
Glories will shine
