WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY
When You held out Your hands at the cross
The most wonderful day, inexpressible love
In the moment of truth You opened these eyes of mine
Touched by the truth I’m giving You my praise
Lord, I will glorify Your name
Forever worship and proclaim
I’ve tasted heaven’s mercy
Although I am not worthy
Wonderful Saviour
Wonderful Saviour
I remember it well
When I met You for the first time
I will never forget, inexpressible love
You spoke to me You said, ‘This is the beginning’
Now my heart is free and I’m giving You my praise
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
Most worthy of praise
I will give thanks for that wonderful day
When You made Your light to shine upon me
Lord, I will glorify Your name
Forever worship and proclaim
I’ve tasted heaven’s mercy
Although I am not worthy
