O WHAT A SAVIOUR THAT HE DIED FOR ME

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!




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;

heaven came down and glory filled

my soul!




Born of the Spirit with life from above

into God‟s family divine,

justified fully through 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!




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. ......
