Blessed Assurance
Bill Anderson · I Can Do Nothing Alone [Decca] [1967]
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Air of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.
Perfect submition, all is at rest
I in my Saviour am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending,(they) bring from above
Echoes of mercy,(sweet)whispers of love.
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
Praising my savior all the day long.
Praising my savior all the day long.
Praising my savior all the day long...
