Blessed Assurance

On Sunday, Pastor Eric quoted from a beloved hymn, Blessed Assurance. If you’re unfamiliar with this song, listen to this contemporary rendition by Shane & Shane. We’ve included the lyrics below. This song is worth knowing, treasuring, and singing.

Verse 1
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, 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.

Verse 2
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Verse 3
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.
