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
My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
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 (filled my soul) When at the cross my Saviour made me whole (made me whole) My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
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
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
Born of the Spirit with life from above Into God's fam'ly divine Justified fully thru Calvary's love O what a standing is mine
