My Friend Cathy
In the Nook… If you would like to participate go here for the details: Jacque’s Psalm and Praise.
Here is my Saturday Praise for today. Blessed Assurance is a Christian hymn with lyrics written in 1873 by Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915) to Phoebe P. Knapp’s (1839-1908) tune known as “Assurance”. Here are the lyrics to this beautiful song. I have also included above a video of a guitar instrumental of this song played by Paul Frazier….Thank You Paul~!
vs.1
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.
Refrain:
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.
vs.2
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)
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.
(Refrain)
