BLESSED ASSURANCE

BLESSED ASSURANCE, JESUS IS MINE.
O WHAT A FORE TASTE OF GLORY DIVINE.
HEIR OF SALVATION, PURCHASE OF GOD.
BORN OF HIS SPIRIT, WASHED IN HIS BLOOD.

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 BLESSED,
WATCHING AND WAITING, LOOKING ABOVE
FILLED WITH HIS MERCY, WHISPERS OF LOVE.

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.
