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. Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, . . . filled my soul When at the cross the Savior made me whole; . . . made me whole My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day, Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! . . . filled my soul Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family 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.
