Glorioso Dia
Luis David Jimenez Cardoso
Glorious Day
Today I want to take
This time to share
The story of the past
When my life changed
I’ll never forget
I’ll always remember
That happy moment
Of immense joy
Glorious the day
When Jesus came into my life
I was in dark prison
And now I see the light of day
I was left by everyone
Everyone had abandoned me
But Christ with love
Took me in His arms
I lived a life of excess
Of which I’m ashamed today
A life full of lies
Deceit, misery, and ruin
I found myself caught
In the grips of death and sin
I tried to break free
But it was always a failure
The worst part was that I fell
I thought it was better to end my life
And I was about to commit a great madness
To swallow a whole bottle of pills
The living God manifested
And I fell down on my knees
He said, "Don’t hurt yourself
I am Jesus, your Creator
I’ve come to seek you because I love you
I want to give you new life, open your heart"
Glorious the day
When Jesus came into my life
I was in dark prison
And now I see the light of day
I was left by everyone
Everyone had abandoned me
But Christ with love
Took me in His arms
It’s been six years since that event that changed
The course of my life, when He appeared
The good Samaritan, who rescued me
Took me in His arms and brought me to the inn
He bandaged my wounds, healed my sores
And the thirst my soul had, He satisfied
At the right moment, He appeared
And from death, my soul was freed
He has given me everything and I deserve nothing
If it weren’t for His grace, I’d already be dead
To Him, I owe my life
He made me His child, it’s unmerited grace
That’s why I write songs
To express the gratitude in my being
There’s thankfulness in my prayers
Everything I am, I owe to Him
Glorious the day
When Jesus came into my life
I was in dark prison
And now I see the light of day
I was left by everyone
Everyone had abandoned me
But Christ with love
Took me in His arms
I know very well who I am and where you pulled me from
I’ll never forget what you did for me
That’s why Jesus, I’ll live to please you
Because you redeemed my soul from sin.
