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)
Romans 8
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Worship Suggestion: #27
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about this Easter season of worship and praise. Emphasize that we have this blessed assurance because Jesus died and was resurrected for our salvation. This is a time of rejoicing and spiritual renewal for the people of God. Meditate on the Ministry of Jesus, the Passion of Christ Jesus, and the wonderful promises from God who never fails.
2. As the song continues, (During verses 2 - 3) read the holy scripture found in the book of Romans 8: 1- 2, 10-18. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together
