Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

Words by Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
Music by Phoebe P. Knapp, 1839-1908



I have been listening to my Third Day cd a lot lately. This is a song they recorded live. "An oldie, but a goodie" as the lead singer says.

Today it has really struck a chord with me. I hope it brings some peace to your day too. Just sing it in your car at the TOP of your lungs. Isn't that much better? ;)
