One Day

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, (Isa. 7:14, Matt. 1:23)
Dwelt among men, my ex­am­ple is He! (John 1:14, I Pet. 2:21)

Chorus
Living, He loved me; dy­ing, He saved me; (Gal. 2:20, Rom. 5:8-9)
Buried, He car­ried my sins far away; (Ps. 103:12, I Cor. 15:3-4)
Rising, He jus­ti­fied free­ly for­ev­er; (Rom. 4:25, Rom. 5:1)
One day He’s com­ing—O glo­ri­ous day!

Suffering ang­uish, des­pised and re­ject­ed: (Isa. 53:3, Ps. 22:6)
Bearing our sins, my Re­deem­er is He! (Isa. 53:4-5, Isa. 53:11, I Pet. 2:24)

One day He rest­ed, from suf­fer­ing free;
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vi­gil; (Matt. 28:2, Luke 24:4, John 20:11-12)
