lyrics
I BLESS THE DAY
V1
Silent You lay in my arms on that day,
I was young
What did I know?
So unprepared just a girl who had dared
To say ‘Yes, Let it be so.’
Ch1
Our waiting was ended
As Heaven descended
And Angels were singing your name
And I blessed the day, I blessed the day
The day that you came.
V2
I had to conceal all that time would reveal
Just one touch would give you away
The power of your hand
Just one simple command
Wind and waves would surely obey
CH2
The People they pursued you,
They praised you and used you
With everyone calling your name
But I bless the day, I bless the day
The day that you came.
Bridge
All this time, we’d been waiting to find you,
Now our crime
Drives the nails in your hands and it should have been mine
Ch3
Heaven was silent
The cross and it’s violence
The whole world was cursing your name
But I bless the day, I bless the day
The day that you came.
V4
I know the truth, felt you breath, saw the proof
Oh my child I always believed.
Saviour and King, truly God, suffering
For a world that couldn’t perceive.
ch4
But one day they’ll see you
And then they’ll believe you
The whole world will bow at your name
And I’ll bless the day, I’ll bless the day
The day that you came,
I bless the day, I bless the day
The day that you came.
