And Now I'm Glad All The Day

Verse 1

Did my Creator bleed for me?

Did Sovereign Mercy die?

To set a captive spirit free

And answer every cry?

Was it for crimes that I had done

He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity! Grace unknown!

And love beyond degree!

​Chorus

It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light,

And the weight of my heart rolled away;

It was there, by His grace, I received my sight,

And now I am glad all the day!

​Verse 2

The sun in darkness hid its face

And shut its glories in,

When Christ, the mighty Maker, died

To wash away my sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face

While His dear cross appears,

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,

And melt my eyes to tears.

Chorus

It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light,

And the weight of my heart rolled away;

It was there, by His grace, I received my sight,

And now I am glad all the day!

​Verse 3

But drops of grief can ne'er repay

The debt of love I owe;

Here, Lord, I give myself away,

It’s all that I can do.

For every breath is now a gift,

And every song a sign,

Of how the Savior lifted me

To walk in life divine.

Chorus

It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light,

And the weight of my heart rolled away;

It was there, by His grace, I received my sight,

And now I am glad all the day!

Chorus

It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light,

And the weight of my heart rolled away;

It was there, by His grace, I received my sight,

And now I am glad all the day!
