Seize the Moment – Day 928

Today’s hymn focus will be

“Glorious Day”

1 Peter 2:24 (NASB95)​
 

“ and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.”

 

In 2009, Mark Hall, the frontman and songwriter for Casting Crowns, wrote the music for a glorious old hymn. He took the strong lyrics of this hymn that depicted the life of Christ, a hymn he grew up on and rearranged it because people were not singing it much anymore.

 

The original hymn, ‘One Day’ was written by John Wilbur Chapman who was born in Richmond, Indiana. Written about 1908, he was a passionate evangelist, he wrote this hymn to provide a memorable way to share the gospel.

 

Both of these men wanted this message to be declared loud and clear:

 

​Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sin far away

​Rising He justified freely forever; One day He’s coming, O glorious day!1 Peter 2:24dkl

​O glorious day! 

 

 We need to wake up and not be bashful about telling others of the Good News! Even if you can’t sing it, you can use the words of this hymn to share the story of Christ’s love, His life, His sacrifice, His victory and of His soon return! We don’t have a moment to wait!

Glorious Day

 
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 HeWord became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed
Living, He loved meDying, He saved meBuried, He carried my sins far awayRising, He justified freely foreverOne day He’s comingOh 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 HeHands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
 
And took the nails for me
Living, He loved meDying, He saved meBuried, He carried my sins far awayRising, He justified freely foreverOne day He’s comingOh glorious day, oh glorious day
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
 
One day the stone rolled away from the doorThen He arose, over death He had conqueredNow is ascended, my Lord evermoreDeath could not hold Him, the grave could not keep HimFrom rising again
 
Living, He loved meDying, He saved meBuried, He carried my sins far awayRising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s comingOh glorious day, oh glorious 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 meDying, He saved meBuried, He carried my sins far awayRising, He justified freely foreverOne day He’s comingOh glorious day, oh glorious dayGlorious dayOh glorious day
