A few days ago, I heard the song, "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns, on my way to work. I had never heard it before. Something about that song is just so incredibly powerful. As soon as I got to work, I searched it on YouTube, and played it over and over.
One day when Heaven was filled with His praisesOne day when sin was as black as could beJesus came forth to be born of a VirginDwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among usHis glory revealed
Living He loved me, dying He saved meAnd buried He carried my sins far awayRising He justified freely foreverOne day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary's mountainOne day they nailed Him to die on a treeSuffering anguish, despised and rejectedBearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a treeAnd took the nails for me
'Cause living He loved me, dying He saved meAnd buried He carried my sins far awayRising He justified freely foreverOne day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day the grave could conceal Him no longerOne day the stone rolled away from the doorThen He arose, over death He had conqueredNow He's ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold HimThe grave could not keep Him from rising again
Living He loved me, dying He saved meAnd buried He carried my sins far awayRising He justified freely foreverOne day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious dayGlorious day
One day the trumpet will sound for His comingOne day the skies with His glories will shineWonderful day, my beloved one bringingMy Savior Jesus is mine
Living He loved me, dying He saved meAnd buried He carried my sins far awayRising He justified freely foreverOne day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious dayGlorious day, oh, glorious day
I just can't seem to get it out of my head. The chorus gives me goosebumps, or "Godbumps" as I have heard them described.
Through no acts of my own or cost to me, my sins have been absolved. It has been done for me freely and forever out of love. Thank you, Jesus. This humble sinner marvels at your generosity and infinite love.
