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!
