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!

Refrain
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 o'er 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 ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!
