Day 8: Glorious Day by Casting Crowns

Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)
By Casting Crowns

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
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

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

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
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 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

Father, thank you for creating a desire in me to worship you! Thank you that your mercies are new each day! Thank for you inspiring songs that speak truth! That point us to your glory and plan for humanity. Thank for being a God that loves us more than we can know. Thank you for saving me, carrying my sins far away, justifying my future in heaven with you. How I wait for the day you return! The day the trumpets sound and your life giving light shines upon the earth. How wonderful that moment will be! Thank you for filling my heart with love and giving me the desire to love others. My cup runneth over! Father I ask you to give the desire to love others because of your presence to those who are lost. I pray specifically for my loved ones. May they know you and because of the holy spirit living in them and love others with an agape love. Thank you for the peace you have bestowed upon my soul, even though I am walking in the shadows. May the pain I experience be used to glorify your name. Grant me the strength to walk without crumbling and the ability to be joyful in difficult times. Thank you for the ultimate plan you have for your people!

In Christ's powerful name, Amen!
