Blessed Assurance

I love this old hymn by Franny J. Crosby, "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.

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 blest,

watching and waiting, looking above,

filled with His goodness lost in His love.

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."

I wanted to name my blog "perfect submission" but it was already taken. However, I still wanted to write about this hymn, as a reminder to me of how I need to live my daily life...

In perfect submission, all is at rest... I, in my Savior, am happy and blessed.

This is my story....
