Lyrics

One day when Heav en was filled with His prais es, one day when sin was as black as could be,

Je sus came forth to be born of a vir gin, dwelt a mong men.

My ex am ple is He.

The Word be came flesh and the light shined a mong us, His glo ry re vealed.

Liv ing, He loved me.

Dy ing, He saved me.

Bur ied, He car ried my sins far a way.

Ris ing, He jus ti fied free ly for ev er.

One day (C)He’s com ing; oh, glo ri ous day,

oh, glo ri ous day.

One day they led Him up Cal va ry’s moun tain.

One day they nailed Him to die on a tree.

Suf fer ing an guish, de spised and re ject ed, bear ing our sins, my Re deem er is He.

The hands that healed na tions stretched out on a tree and took the nails for me.

Liv ing, He loved me.

Dy ing, He saved me.

Bur ied, He car ried my sins far a way.

Ris ing, He jus ti fied free ly for ev er.

One day (C)He’s com ing; oh, glo ri ous day,

oh, glo ri ous day.

oh, glo ri ous day,

glo ri ous day.

One day the (C)trum pet will sound for His (Am)com ing.

One day the (C)skies with His glo ry will (C)shine.

Won der ful (C)day my Be loved One (Am)bring ing.

My Sav ior, Je sus is mine.

Liv ing, He loved

oh, glo ri ous day,

glo ri ous day,

oh, glo ri ous day.
