One day when heaven was filled with
His praises,
One day when sin
was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth
to be born of a virgin,
dwelt amongst men,
my example is He!
Refrain:
Living, He loved
me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried
my sins far away;
Rising, He justified,
freely for ever.
One day He's coming,
oh, glorious day!
2. One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain,
One day they nailed
Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish,
despised and rejected,
Bearing our sins,
my Redeemer is He!
3. One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested,
from suffering free;
Angels came down
o'er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless,
my Savior is He!
4. One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone
rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over
death He had conquered,
Now is ascended,
my Lord ever more!
5. One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies
with His glories will shine;
Wonderful day, my
beloved ones bringing,
glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!
