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
Word became flesh and the light shined
among us
His glory revealed
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
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary’s
mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on
a tree
And took the nails for me
One day the grave could conceal Him no
longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had
conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could
not keep Him
From rising again
One day the trumpet will sound for His
coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine
Oh, glorious day

Behind the Song:
“The hymn ‘One Day’ was a big hymn for me growing up. All I knew was hymns until probably 21 or 22 years old; that’s what we had in our church. The chorus: ‘Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away,’ that has just been a part of me from the start. As a youth pastor, you want your students to hear the theology of the hymns and sometimes you have to play it a little different way."
