Sometimes when you take the time to listen to a song, the lyrics that were carefully chosen to create that song share a story so perfectly clear, you can mentally visualize it.
Over the last few months I've been filling myself with the truth of God's Word. So yesterday morning, as I was driving to work, everything I've been reading, listening to and the personal journey I've been embarking on over these last months hit me at once, like a ton of bricks as I listened to the song "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns.
I was reminded of the amazing LOVE and GRACE Jesus has for us. As the song reached the chorus, my eyes well up with tears and my heart fluttered as it was touched with something I have never experienced before - The Affirmation of Real Love - Genuine Love ♥
In that moment, I clearly understood the depth of what God sacrificed for me, so that I could live for eternity. I've never felt a more "Authentic ♥ Love" than I did at that moment.
I give thanks and praise to such a loving, graceful and merciful God. Thank you for sacrificing your Son so that I could share the joys of eternity with you and for making me part of your family. I humbly admit I need you. I ask that you fill me with the Holy Spirit each day so I can continue to trust whatever you place before me, remain faithful to your plans for my life and to surrender my life to you daily. The day of your return, will indeed be a "Glorious Day!"
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
And 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
'Cause living He loved me, dying He saved me
And 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 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
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day
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
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day, oh, glorious day
Amen sister... Love me some songs <3
