Lyrics

Blessed Assurance

[Verse 1]

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God

I'm born of his Spirit, washed in his blood

[Chorus]

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour all day long

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour 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

[Chorus]

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour all day long

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour all the day long

[Verse 3]

Perfect submission, all is at rest

I in my Saviour am happy and blessed

Watching and waiting, looking above

I'm filled with God's goodness, I'm lost in his love

[Chorus]

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Saviour all the day long

This is my story, this is my song

'Tis praising my Saviour all the day long
