Heaven Came Down

O what a wonderful, wonderful day – day I will never (A)forget;

After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour I (D)met.

Shadows dispelling, With (D)joy I am telling,

He (A)made all the darkness (D)depart.

Chorus:

(D)Heaven came (Bm)down and (G)glory (A)filled my (D)soul,

When at the (Bm)cross the (G)Saviour (A)made me (D)whole;

My (G)sins were washed (A7)away -

And my (D)night was turned to (Bm-G)day -

(D)Heaven came (Bm)down and (G)glory (A)filled my (D)soul!

Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's fam'ly divine,

Justified fully thru Calvary's love, O what a standing is mine!

And the transaction so quickly was made when as a sinner I came,

Took of the offer of grace He did proffer -

He saved me, O praise His dear name!

Now I've a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time;

I  have a future in heaven for sure, there in those mansions sublime.

And it's because of that wonderful day when at the cross I believed;

Riches eternal and blessings supernal

from His precious hand I received.

Heart of Worship

D                            A                                      G                         A

When the music fades and all is stripped away, And I simply come,

D                                A

I’m sorry for the thing I’ve made it

When it’s all about You, it’s all about You Jesus

D                          A                                  G                                A

King of endless worth, no one could express, How much You deserve

D                                 A                          G                                  A

Though I’m weak and poor, all I have is Yours,  Every single breath.
