On That Day Poem by Reginald Walker

By the grip of death I am destined to be bound;
But out of the cold dark grave I know I will fly.
The voice of God shall call me out of the ground.
Then I shall rise to meet my Savior in the sky.

On that day, that blessed glorious day I shall arise.
I shall be called to meet my Savior in the sky.
On that day, that blessed glorious day I shall arise.
I will gladly bid this old life good bye.

On that glad day, in me no sin shall be found.
Jesus has removed the stain of all my iniquity.
He picked me up from the cold muddy ground.
He has taken my unrighteousness away from me.

On that day, that blessed glorious day I arose.
I went to meet my Savior, Jesus the Christ.
On that day, that blessed glorious day, I arose.
To him, I gladly surrender my old life.

One that day, I shall behold his loving face.
I shall abide in him like I really should.
I will see him full of mercy and of grace.
I will be changed to be what I never could.

On that day, that blessed glorious day I shall arise.
I shall be called to meet my Savior in the sky.
On that day, that blessed glorious day I shall arise.
I will gladly bid this old life good bye.
