"Blessed Assurance" lyrics - IRIS DEMENT

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 the day long
This is my story, this is my song
It's praising my Saviour 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

[Chorus]

Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Saviour am happy and bless
Watching and waiting, looking above
I'm filled with God's goodness, I'm lost in his love

[Chorus]
