Glorious Day!!

We sang this song for the first time in church today...moved me...so, I thought I would share it. It was originally written around 1910 by J. Wilbur Chapman as a hymn but has been reworked into a contemporary-ish song by Jeff Johnson.

I guess with all the thoughts of uncertainty, illness, loss, and death lately it brought me comfort. Well, He brings me comfort but the words of this song just rang so loud in my heart this morning. I hope you enjoy it. If you've heard it before...why didn't you tell me about it?? :)

It is helpful for me to remember that in Christ death has lost its sting. In heaven there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. We will be made perfect in His image. And it will be glorious.

Just click the arrow button and follow through with the lyrics. If you don't get the lyrics, well, you will miss it. I tried to get the godtube or youtube one with the lyrics already in the video but the lyrics were wrong in too many important places.


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

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
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day

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

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
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day

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