“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”1 Peter 1:3
I never have the right words to express my awe of the death and resurrection of Jesus. I often look to the hymns or lyrics to what most call “praise music.” Casting Crowns, a Christian band, did a song titled “Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me). Below are the lyrics which tell the story of Jesus sweetly and powerfully. Maybe use these lyrics to praise and thank God for Jesus. Below is also the link to the video.
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
The 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
The 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 (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 (we long for your coming)
One day, the skies with his glories will shine (glories will shine)
Wonderful day, my beloved one bringing
(My Savior) my Savior Jesus is mine
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
Glorious day
Oh, glorious day
IN JESUS’ NAME-AMEN!
