Blessed Assurance

Send us Fan MailBlessed assurance, Jesus is mine!Oh, 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 aboveEchoes 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.

Send us Fan MailJesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, Without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go, No other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad, He's my friend.Jesus is all the world to me, my friend in trials sore; I go to Him for blessings and He gives them ov'r and o'er. He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest's golden grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He's my friend.Jesus is all the world to me, and true to Him I'll be; O how could I this friend deny, when He's so true to me? Following Him I know I am right, He watches o'er me day and night; Following Him, by day and night, He's my friend.Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when Life's fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a friend; beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy, He's my friend.Words: Will L.

Bradbury, 1863My hope is built on nothing lessThan Jesus blood and righteousness.I dare not trust the sweetest frame,But wholly lean on Jesus name.Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock I stand,All other ground is sinking sand;All other ground is sinking sand.When darkness veils His lovely face,I rest on His unchanging grace.In every high and stormy gale,My anchor holds within the veil.(Refrain)His oath, His covenant, His blood,Support me in the whelming flood.When all around my soul gives way,He then is all my hope and stay.(Refrain)When He shall come with trumpet sound,Oh may I then in Him be found.Dressed in His righteousness alone,Faultless to stand before the throne.(Refrain)Public DomainSupport the show

Send us Fan MailHello and welcome to another episode of A Song A Day Keeps Coronavirus Away! Can you believe it? This is episode 35! Much thanks to those joining me for the first time or those re-joining me once again. I appreciate you all! I'll tell you a little secret. While I followed the prompting of the Holy Spirit to put something out here to help people cope with the drastic changes in their lives. It has also helped me. As a bipolar person, sudden changes do not sit well with me. At first, it was a welcome rest because I go hard in " normal everyday life" But then as the time kept stretching out and I began to realize it wasn't just a month. Panic began to set in. No hugs? No lunches with friends? What? Thank God for His word and the wonderful gift of music.Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if you have a testimony you'd like to share, a question you wish to ask, or a comment.Category: LongingsSubcategory: For Growth in ChristLyrics: Johnson Oatman Jr. (1856-1926)Music: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (1856-1932)I’m pressing on the upward way,New heights I’m gaining every day;Still praying as I onward bound,“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”   Lord, lift me up, and let me standBy faith on Canaan’s tableland;A higher plane than I have found,  Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.My heart has no desire to stayWhere doubts arise and fears dismay;Though some may dwell where these abound,My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.I want to live above the world,Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;For faith has caught the joyful sound,The song of saints on higher ground.I want to scale the utmost heightAnd catch a gleam of glory bright;But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”Support the show

Towner, 1887copyright status is Public DomainWhen we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,What a glory He sheds on our way!While we do His good will, He abides with us still,And with all who will trust and obey.Refrain:Trust and obey, for there’s no other wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,But His smile quickly drives it away;Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,Can abide while we trust and obey.Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,But our toil He doth richly repay;Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,But is blessed if we trust and obey.But we never can prove the delights of His loveUntil all on the altar we lay;For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,Are for them who will trust and obey.Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;Never fear, only trust and obey.Support the show
