VERSE 1
I was buried beneath my shame
Who could carry that kind of weight
It was my tomb
Till I met You
VERSE 2
I was breathing, but not alive
All my failures I tried to hide
It was my tomb
Till I met You
CHORUS
You called my name
And I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness
Into Your glorious day
VERSE 3
Now Your mercy has saved my soul
Now Your freedom is all I know
The old made new
Jesus, when I met You
CHORUS
You called my name
And I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness
Into Your glorious day
BRIDGE
I needed rescue
My sin was heavy
But chains break at the weight of Your glory
I needed shelter
I was an orphan
But You call me a citizen of heaven
When I was broken
You were my healing
Your love is the air that I’m breathing
I have a future
My eyes are open
Glorious Day Words and Music by Jason Ingram, Jonathan Smith, Kristian Stanfill, Sean Curran © 2017 sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved– and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4-7
Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” John 11:38-44
Story behind the song
“This song is our story. It’s the people of God’s story. We are a chosen people and we’re called out of darkness into marvelous light. When you start singing about coming back to life, it really brings joy up out of people.” – Kristian Stanfill
“What I like so much about God is that He didn’t stop at saving us… In the bridge, that’s what we start singing about… We start claiming things about our lives. That we were dead, but now we’re alive! And we may have felt alone, but we’ve actually been invited to be a citizen of the kingdom of heaven! So, the future is bright.”
