NEW SONG: Glorious Day

Posted by Jason Jolly on with 0 Comments

Next Sunday we're going to learn a hymn that was written around 1908 by Rev. John Wilbur Chapman and originally titled "One Day". In 2008, Michael Bleecker took the lyrics from that hymn and put them to new music, as he was preparing for Easter services, and called it "Glorious Day" (the lyrics are posted below). This song can be found on The Village Church album GOD OF VICTORY. The verses of the song expound each line of the chorus: verse one describes the birth of Christ, verse two the death of Christ, verse three the ascension of Christ and verse four the return of Christ. Click here to listen.

VERSE 1

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
 

CHORUS

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


VERSE 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


VERSE 3

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer

One day the stone rolled away from the door

Then He arose o'er death He had conquered

Now is ascended, my Lord evermore


VERSE 4

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
