Kristian Stanfill - Glorious Day Lyrics
Lyrics
I was buried beneath my shame
Who could carry that kind of weight?
It was my tomb 'Til I met You
I was breathing but not alive
All my failures I tried to hide
It was my tomb 'Til I met You
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
Now Your mercy has saved my soul
Now Your freedom is all that I know
The old made new, Jesus, when I met You
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
I needed rescue, my sin was heavy
But chains break at the weight of Your glory
I needed shelter, I was an orphan
Now You call me a citizen of heaven
When I was broken, You were my healing
Now Your love is the air that I'm breathing
I have a future, my eyes are open
'Cause when You called my name
I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day

Passion - Glorious Day (Live) ft. Kristian Stanfill
Meaning & Inspiration
"Glorious Day," as performed by Kristian Stanfill and featured on Passion's 2017 album *Live*, is a powerful anthem that resonates deeply with the core tenets of Christian faith, particularly the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its implications for believers. The song, released on February 17, 2017, encapsulates a profound sense of hope and triumph, drawing its strength from the foundational event of Easter. At its heart, "Glorious Day" is a declaration of victory over sin and death, a celebration of God's redemptive power made manifest through Christ. The message is intricately woven with biblical truth, most notably echoing the amazement and awe of those who first witnessed Christ's empty tomb. It speaks to the transformation that occurs in a believer's life, moving from darkness to light, from despair to exultation. The lyrics vividly portray the experience of a soul awakened to the reality of salvation, finding new life and purpose in the risen Savior. This narrative directly aligns with the Apostle Paul’s assertion in 1 Corinthians 15:14, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." The song understands this truth and builds upon it, offering a jubilant testimony to the enduring power of faith rooted in the resurrection. Furthermore, the lyrics evoke a sense of anticipation for Christ's return, a theme prevalent throughout scripture, such as in John 14:3 where Jesus promises, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." The song’s focus on a “glorious day” can be interpreted not only as the historical event of the resurrection but also as the future consummation of God’s plan, the ultimate day of redemption and reunion. The repeated refrain is a direct affirmation of God’s faithfulness and His ability to overcome the greatest of adversities. It’s a musical testament to the enduring hope found in knowing that death has been conquered, and that through faith in Jesus, eternal life is a present reality and a future certainty, as captured in the triumphant declaration of Romans 6:4, which speaks of being raised with Christ to walk in newness of life. The song offers a profound encouragement to embrace this truth, allowing it to shape our perspective and fuel our worship.
