Heaven Came Down

Titus 3:4-6 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 

[5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 


[6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;


What is the message of the Gospel? 


God loves you! 


Christ died for you! 


God will save you by His grace!

       

Heaven Came Down

O what a wonderful, wonderful day — Day i will never forget; — After i'd wandered in darkness away, — Jesus my Savior i met. — O what a tender compassionate friend, —  He met the need of my heart. —  Shadows dispelling, with joy i am telling   —    He made all the darkness depart.

 

CHORUS:

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.  — When at the cross my Savior made me whole. —  My sins were washed away —  And my night was turned to day.  —  Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.


Born of the spirit with life from above. —  Into God's fam'ly divine, —   Justified fully thro’ Calvary's love, — O what a standing is mine! — And the transaction so quickly was made   —   When as a sinner i came,   —   Took of the offer of grace he did proffer  —  He saved me, o praise his dear name! - - -


Now, i've a hope that will surely endure — After the passing of time;   —   I have a future in heaven for sure,   —   There in those mansions sublime.   —   And it's because of that wonderful day   —   When at the cross i believed   —   Riches eternal and blessings supernal   —   From his precious hand i received.
