“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith.” Hebrews 10:21-22
I cannot think of a hymn written by Fanny Crosby that isn't a favorite of mine but this one is set apart for me. Very special. Maybe because I was raised in a faith that taught that salvation is something I could blow but I have since come to believe that God's precious gift is secure, despite my own short comings and I have BLESSED ASSURANCE!
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.
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.
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
