Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
When at the cross my Savior made me whole
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day
When heaven came down and glory filled my soul
O what a wonderful day
I will never forget
When I was wandering in darkness away
Jesus my Savior I met
O what a tender compassionate friend
He met the need of my heart
Shadows disspelling with joy I am telling
He made all the darkness depart
