Out of the darkness of the night
Jesus called me.
Into the radiance of his light
Jesus brought me,
giving my life a brand new start,
changing my cold and stubborn heart.
Now I am his adopted child,
rescued, ransomed, reconciled!

Wonderful, glorious day!
Jesus saved me,
washing my sins all away.
He will keep changing and changing me
till that day, when in heaven I stand,
perfect in him.
O wonderful, glorious day!

2 Out of a life of guilt and sin
Jesus called me.
Into a life that honours him
Jesus brought me,
choosing this sinner for his own,
making this humble heart his home.
Now I am his, I’m justified—
purchased, pardoned, purified!

Wonderful, glorious day…

3 No greater sacrifice was made:
Jesus made it.
No greater debt was ever paid:
Jesus paid it.
No greater love, no greater grace;
bearing the cross, he took my place.
Now I’m forgiven, now I’m free,
all because he died for me.

Wonderful, glorious day!
Jesus saved me,
washing my sins all away.
He will keep changing and changing me
till that day, when in heaven I stand,
perfect in him.
O wonderful, glorious day!
O wonderful, glorious day!
