What a Wonderful Day

Joel A. Erickson (2005) • English

Primary Scripture: John 14:2

Verse 1

Oh, praise the Lord for His love! I have a mansion above, In that bright, beautiful land, Where one day I shall ever stand.

Chorus

What a wonderful day that shall be, When Christ my Savior I’ll see! When in that city fair with beauties rare A song I’ll sing, a crown I’ll wear, His praise declare fore’er and e’er!

Verse 2

I have a hope that is sure, One that I mean to secure; I’ll follow Jesus each day, So that to me, “Well done,”

Chorus

What a wonderful day that shall be, When Christ my Savior I’ll see! When in that city fair with beauties rare A song I’ll sing, a crown I’ll wear, His praise declare fore’er and e’er!

Verse 3

He’ll say. This life here soon will be o’er, Then on a happier shore I’ll join my Lord’s blood-bought band, Walk with Him always hand in hand.

Chorus

What a wonderful day that shall be, When Christ my Savior I’ll see! When in that city fair with beauties rare A song I’ll sing, a crown I’ll wear, His praise declare fore’er and e’er!
