One Day
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 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�O
glorious day!
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!
One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One
day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down over His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of
the hopeless, my Savior is He!
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 evermore!
One day the trumpet will sound for His
coming,
One day the skies with His glories will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved
One bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!
