• The TriUne Jehovah

Living, He Loved Me; Dying, He Saved Me

1 One day when Heaven was,

Filled with His praises,

One day when sin,

Was as black as could be;

Jesus came forth to be,

Born of a virgin,

Dwelt among men,

My Example is He!

2 One day they led Him,

Up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him,

To die on the tree;

Suffering anguish,

Despised and rejected:
Bearing our sins,

My Redeemer is He!

3 One day they left Him,

Alone in the garden,
One day He rested,

From suffering free;

Angels came down o’er,

His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless,

My Savior is He!

4 One day the grave could,

Conceal Him no longer,

One day the stone rolled,

Away from the door;

Then He arose, over,

Death He had conquered;

Now is ascended,

My Lord evermore!

5 One day the trumpet will,

Sound for His coming,

One day the skies with,

His glories will shine;

Wonderful day,

My beloved ones bringing;

Glorious Savior,

This Jesus is mine!

 

Refrain: Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;

Buried, He carried my sins far away;

Rising, He justified freely forever;

One day He’s coming, O glorious day!
