“Heaven Came Down” by John W. Peterson is one of my favorites. My folks sang it with another couple in a quartet when I was a girl. So much promise here! “Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling He made all the darkness depart!” Amen!
(1) O what a wonderful, wonderful day—
Day I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness away,
Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender, compassionate friend-
He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling,
He made all the darkness depart!
CHORUS
Heaven came down
and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross
the Savior made me whole;
My sins were washed away
And my night was turned to day—
Heaven came down
and glory filled my soul!
(2) Born of the Spirit with life from above
Into God’s family divine,
Justified fully through 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!
CHORUS
(3) 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
What at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal and blessings supernal
From His precious hand I received.
CHORUS
