Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O what a wonderful wonderful day, day I will never forget
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour 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
REFRAIN
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole
My sins were washed away, and my night was turned to day
VERSE 2
Born of the Spirit with life from above, into God's family divine
Justified fully thro' 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!
VERSE 3
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
