Hello Hivers
Today being Sunday I just chose to do a song that expressed my joy for the day, Its funny I didnt know the song so well, but the part I know I sure sang well and I did enjoyed my self playing my guitar along side.
The story behind this song is that of a wretched wondering soul with no one finding anything in him to help. He practically wondered in darkness, not holding on to anything, no hopes, no future, nothing was promise, he lived his life base on just guts and nuts and definitely no love. He found himself slowly die and without hope, much dead than he was alive and he knew it. Now mind you, He had amassed much wealth in this world, he had nothing lacking, but then he knew inside that he lacked everything, he had nothing.
For him a passage of the scriptures says..
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

He hadn't stayed too long before he found just how empty he was and how he can be filled with much more through Christ.
He found Jesus, and he was shown tender compassion, love which he had scarcely gotten. He found love undiluted, mercy undeserved and grace uncorrupt.
The needs of his heart were met, and the darkness was destroyed by the light and he was free.
My little story may be familiar but if not, it is the story of a sinner who found Christ. It is my story and the story of every believer and that's why we all can sing that song.
"Oh what a wonderful wonderful day"
Heaven Came Down / O What A Wonderful, Wonderful Day
*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, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)
Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family divine,
Justified fully thru 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!
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)
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.
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)*
