This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it
Whether the sun will shine
Whether the skies will rain
I know that You are good
And this is the day you made
Whether in life or death
Whether in joy or pain
I know this truth remains
That this is the day You made
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it
Now I can walk in faith
You will protect my way
Your every work is good
And this is the day You made
I am a child of Yours
You are the One who saves
I am redeemed by love
And this is the day You made
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
Come and sing your praise
For the Lord now reigns
On the throne of grace
Soon is the day
He will bring us home
And we have this hope
For we are His own
This is the day
Come and sing your praise
For the Lord now reigns
On the throne of grace
Soon is the day
He will bring us home
And we have this hope
For we are His own
This is the day
Come and sing your praise
For the Lord now reigns
On the throne of grace
Soon is the day
He will bring us home
And we have this hope
For we are His own
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it
Come and rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it
Whether the sun will shine
Whether the skies will rain
I know that You are good
And this is the day you made

I'm former muslim. Thank you Jesus for Your sacrifice for us. Lord i don't deserve it but You call me by name. Thank you Jesus. I surrender my life to You

[@kstewart3052]

May the Lord Jesus keep you close and show you more and more of the vastness of his wondrous love!

[@calvinlindstrom123]

What a precious testimony. Praise the Lord, brother, for HIs grace in your life. It is so awesome to see the gospel reach those who have only known Islam.

[@danieledwin8604]

This is what He tells you bro. Jeremiah 31:3 .... Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

[@MAZZAR0TH]

Irresistible grace.

Hallelujah! Praise God! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!

I had cervical cancer while I was pregnant with our 5th baby, and they wanted me to have an abortion. My husband and I said absolutely no. We trusted the Lord. I had to have a biopsy each month, and it was spreading After our baby was born, I had a cone biopsy done to see how far the cancer the cancer spread. The Dr. Called me a week later and said, "I have good news for you. The cancer has retreated." Thank you, Jesus. My baby is 32 years old!!!❤

[@albertodeYAHOSHUA]

HalleluYAH

[@dianaforbes5634]

I listened to this song while waiting in hospital for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. I was broken that day, but the spirit led me through this song to rejoice in my lord for lots could have gone wrong, I was still alive! Even in loss, grief and sadness we can look to our God, he is our strength and life. Thank you for listening to the Holy spirit and making this song. So so blessed.

[@WillyJoeFilms]

I’m glad to here that! That’s awesome. Sorry for your loss.

[@jwolsk2]

Our little ones wait for us in heaven and praise the King today! Praise be to God for the gift of their life and your safety!

[@starrystarrynight9822]

I know it may have been too painful to write out or to say but I think you we're probably thinking as you wrote your comment that you were waiting in surgery to remove a baby, your baby 😭😭😭😭😭 I am so very sorry you went through that experience physically, emotionally & spiritually. I acknowledge that the loss continues and always will. You wanted that baby here!! I am thankful that we don't mourn as others who are without Christ and without the knowledge (not only worldly "weak" hope) of our impending reunions. That does *not* minimize the loss you are grieving now but gives us assurances of a future together with those we have lost.

[@agapelight4240]

I am sorry for your loss. May God grant you children to raise here on Earth. May your testimony bring others to Jesus and put stars in your crown, and joy when you see your child growing up in Heaven.

[@MsRedwiz]

I came to a profound realisation the other day. My Mom (now 79) had a miscarriage with her first pregnancy (1970). They were able to see that it was a boy. My Dad passed away in 2008. And I realised only the other day that he and his first-born son were reunited in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. What a joyous thought.

[@iamperspective]

Soon is the day He will bring us home And we have this hope For we are His own❤️

[@popupoikilos]

Lovely line. Praises to Jesus!!!

[@colleenpartlow6515]

My dad is in hospice and Jesus may very well take him home this day. Yes I will rejoice with tears running down my face.

[@lucianaheywood8226]

@@colleenpartlow6515 God loves you. 🙏🏿

[@fernandom5372]

Can't believe I found you just recently, CityAlight... Precisely during one of the darkest times in my life! The Lord knew how desperately I was going to need the comfort and encouragement that comes through your music, and He saved it for 'a time such as this'! Our Lord bless you in even greater ways, my dear sisters and brothers!!! A very grateful greeting from Colombia!

[@govindaanand2284]

JAI HO FERNANDO--MAY HIS AVALANCHE OF LOVE FALL ON YOU

[@obimobinna8527]

Can't get enough of this song. Almost every morning I play it. "Soon is the day he will bring us home and we have this hope for we are his own."❤ Thank you Jesus.

[@gr8gracefreight986]

Whether in joy or pain I know this truth remains That this is the day You made This truth meant to be our anchor, evades most of us. Whether the day turned out as you expected, hoped and wished or whether it tore your heart to pieces, it is the day that the Lord has made, and we WILL rejoice and be glad in it. Habakuk said, though the fig tree shall not blossom and there be no fruit in vine, no herd in the stalls, yet WILL i rejoice in the Lord, I WILL joy in the God of my Salvation. Yes use that WILL to rejoice. It's just as easy as getting sad and despondent, but more rewarding for us and dreadful for the slimy devil. COME and Rejoice, we WILL rejoice and be glad in it!!!

[@forgiven-pleasepray]

We can celebrate the Day The Lord has Made if we are - living under the Great Mercy of the Sovereign Lord - Living in the Light of the Lord Jesus believing Him by - obeying His Words, Teachings and Commands. Living under the Grace of the Lord Jesus is to: - say no to ungodliness and to worldly passions - live self-controlled, upright and godly lives - while we wait for the Blessed Hope - the appearing of the Glory of our Great God and Saviour - Jesus Christ - who gave Himself for us to - redeem us from all wickedness - to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good. (Titus 2:11-14)

[@thelunglengshow]

Dear Cityalight, I truly enjoy your calm and worship-mode music, continue making genuine worship music. Please don't become like those other entertainment music, you know who all I mean. Thank you.

[@mothelkhaling5735]

No outward trend like tattoo, no excessively restless movements like concerts.. simple purely a true ministry doing your best. God bless you all 🙏

Been trying to find good quality biblical worship music. After coming out of many charismatic churches that taught bad doctrine I can't listen to bethel or hillsong anymore. This group makes great biblical music!

[@debbiemumba3040]

Wow this song🥺🥺🥺🥺💓 Dear brothers and sisters, please pray for me as you pray for others because I can feel like there's a distance between me and God. . Please stay away from sin and draw yourselves closer to God, I really say that worldness grows no matter how small you can think sin is. What we don't understand is that sin germinates just like the word germinates in you..

[@_.tabitha]

Prayed for you sis , cry out to God , He will hear you

Soon is the day He will bring us HOME ❤️🥺🙏 O how I await this day when we shall be glorified. Whether the sun will shine, Whether the skies will rain, I know that you are good and this is the day you've made.

[@chasechance711]

I like how authentic this kind of contemporary worship is. Plus y’all never to my knowledge use any heresy in y’all’s songs. What a great song to write for this upcoming Easter

[@larrygamble8293]

Out of the many Christian musical groups and bands world-wide, CityAlight is among my top 5 favorites. Let us always remember, "This Is The Day That The Lord Has Made."

[@gr8gracefreight986]

Listen to Phil Wikham's "His name is Jesus" The bridge there sounds almost exactly as the verses in this song. Worship leaders thinking of medleys, this might be a good link up Whether the sun will shine - There's never been a love so great

[@user-ks6tz7ir7l]

Whether the sun will shine, Whether the skies will rain, I know that you are are good and this is the day you made. Whether in life or death,whether in joy or pain,I know this truth remains that this is the day you made

Guys let's click to the like 'button' this music needs to go out......This is too beautiful and spiritual not to be found or known. We can't have it to ourselves. It's too good cityalight thank you!!!!

[@WWJD799]

“For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your Redeemer. “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you. “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord." ~ Isaiah 54:7-17

[@ninaballerina2807]

Gospel (literally meaning God-spelt) and Catholicism are complete opposites of each other.

[@hazelwhite4133]

I have been listening to CityAlight for several months now. I am so blessed to have come across this group, this fantastic group. I love all your songs but i think "This Is The Day" is my favorite. I would like to see more songs performed with different lead singers, like this song. "Whether the sun will shine, Whether the skies will rain, I know that You are good, And this is the day You made".

Again, a song of worship. A song about the Lord, not about us. And the beauty of the song is matched by the generosity of CityAlight, providing the sheet music on their website so we can join in worship. Thank You for so many songs that have drawn our church in.

[@johnmarkiligan397]

regardless of where my feet lead me to, what places I go, I know that God still in my journey, there will be some people will test your patience and a stranger unexpectedly accosted me for no reason that makes you feel so strange, I was new to the house I am renting with couple of tenants in the apartment, a person outside the house told me he was the owner of the house which I never expected to have a little conflict but I ignore to have a conversation with him, I dont know if he's crazy, but his son also ask him what's wrong? It makes me a little agitated staying in this apartment, I felt uncomfortable with that, I went back to my room, I listen to music and this music played, it seems I just have to vent out for something and feel okay for a moment. Thanks for the music, I really like this band, since then I heard their music for the first time it makes me feel just fine. :)

[@jamisonbebiak7917]

I'm really enjoying this song 🥰❤️ May the Lord bless you CityAlight 🕊️🙌🏻

[@matiaanjansenvanrensburg771]

in the context of Ps 118:25 "this is the day that the Lord has made" refers to the day that Jesus was crushed for our transgressions. Its also likely the ps that Jesus and He's disciples sang after the first communion. A bit of an emotional roller coaster to then sing "let us rejoice in it". And to think Jesus understood what He was singing.

[@johangroenewald3080]

Awesome. Thank you Cityalight.

[@gilbertchangwony]

This is indeed the day, the day lord has made, Wonderful and blessing song. We shall praise Him below the sun and he will lift us. Amen
