Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Let the joy begin, let our songs ring out
Let our hearts be glad, love has banished doubt
See the empty cross, all our debts are gone
Only grace remains, for the victory’s won
CHORUS
Oh what a day, what a glorious day
Oh what a day, what a glorious day
When You conquered death
And rose up from the grave
What a day
What a day
VERSE 2
See the empty tomb, see the grave clothes there
He has left this place, you won’t find Him here
All our fears have fled, let our hopes arise
Heaven waits for us, we will never die
BRIDGE
There is still a day that we’re awaiting
When the glorious One we love appears
He will take us home with Him forever
He will finally wipe away our tears
