One Day

Hymn lyrics by J. Wilbur Chapman,
Music by Charles H. Marsh

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,
• Dwelt among men, my Example is He!

Chorus

• 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—O glorious day!

Verse 2

• One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,
• One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
• Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:
• Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!

Chorus

Verse 3

• One day they left Him alone in the garden,
• One day He rested, from suffering free;
• Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;
• Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

Chorus

Verse 4

• 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 is ascended, my Lord evermore!

Chorus

Verse 5

• One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
• One day the skies with His glories will shine;
• Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
• Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Chorus

Love Found a Way

Hymn lyrics by Avis M. Christiansen,
Music by Harry D. Loes

Verse 1

• Wonderful love that rescued me,
• Sunk deep in sin,
• Guilty and vile as I could be—
• No hope within;
• When every ray of light had fled,
• O glorious day!
• Raising my soul from out the dead,
• Love found a way.

Chorus

• Love found a way, to redeem my soul,
• Love found a way, that could make me whole.
• Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame,
• Love found a way, O praise His holy Name!

Verse 2

• Love brought my Savior here to die
• On Calvary,
• For such a sinful wretch as I,
• How can it be?
• Love bridged the gulf ’twixt me and Heav’n,
• Taught me to pray,
• I am redeemed, set free, forgiv’n,
• Love found a way.

Chorus

Verse 3

• Love opened wide the gates of light
• To Heav’n’s domain,
• Where in eternal pow’r and might
• Jesus shall reign.
• Love lifted me from depths of woe
• To endless day,
• There was no help in earth below;
• Love found a way.

Chorus
