Glorious Day

The song "Glorious Day" by Passion is a powerful expression of spiritual rebirth and the transformative experience of finding salvation. The lyrics describe a personal journey from a state of despair, symbolized by being 'buried beneath my shame' and 'breathing but not alive,' to a moment of profound change when the singer encounters a divine presence, referred to as 'You.' This encounter is depicted as a resurrection, moving from darkness to a 'glorious day,' which signifies the moment of spiritual awakening and redemption.

The song uses the metaphor of a grave to represent the weight of sin and failure that the individual feels trapped by. The act of being called by name and running out of the grave symbolizes the personal and intimate nature of the spiritual experience, suggesting a direct and life-changing call from God. The transition from darkness to light is a common religious motif that represents the passage from ignorance and despair to knowledge and hope.

The latter part of the song shifts to a tone of gratitude and recognition of the new life the singer has found. References to being rescued, finding shelter, and becoming a 'citizen of heaven' emphasize the complete transformation and acceptance into a spiritual family. The repeated affirmation that 'Your love is the air that I'm breathing' underscores the sustaining power of divine love in the singer's life. The song culminates in a declaration of a hopeful future with 'eyes open,' indicating a newfound clarity and purpose.
