Heaven Came Down

(And glory filled my soul)

Written by: John W. Peterson

Verse I

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 nights were turned to day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul

Verse II

Born of the Spirit with life from above

Into God’s family 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

[Repeat chorus]

Verse III

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

[Repeat chorus, then]

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
