Lyrics
There lives a glimpse of that faithful day
When they led him, they led him away
The mourners followed and prayed
The day when I was saved
Jesus warned of what would come
There’d be no fortune but for some
This before the green tree would succumb
The day when I was saved
I was saved the day my best friend died
I was saved with humble tears in my eyes
I was saved when love and hate collide
I was saved the day my best friend died
Side by side before a gallery
Hung on a hill they called Calvary
They sneered and mocked infallibly
The day when I was saved
I was saved the day my best friend died
I was saved with humble tears in my eyes
I was saved the day that death was denied
I was saved the day my best friend died
This is the king the sign proclaimed
My friend was innocent and falsely blamed
They yelled to crucify him unashamed
The day when I was saved
My friend he prayed in their defense
Forgive them for their ignorance
On this afternoon that made no sense
The day when I was saved
One with faith was heard to cry
Remember me with a humble sigh
Then darkness came and filled the sky
The day when I was saved
I was saved the day my best friend died
I was saved with humble tears in my eyes
I was saved on that prophetic hillside
I was saved the day my best friend died
Truly he said clear and concise
He was lovingly precise
You’ll be with me in paradise
The day when I was saved
