Blessed Assurance
UMH #369
WORDS: Fanny J. Crosby, 1873
1. 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.
2. Perfect submission,
perfect delight,
visions of rapture
now burst on my sight;
angels descending
bring from above
echoes of mercy,
whispers of love.
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.
3. 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
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.

Lu Petersen
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord..."

1. Will you come
and follow me
if I but call your name?
Will you go
where you don’t know
and never be the same?
Will you let
my love be shown,
will you let
my name be known,
will you let
my life be grown in you
and you in me?
2. Will you leave
yourself behind
if I but call your name?
Will you care
for cruel and kind
and never be the same?
Will you risk
the hostile stare
should your life
attract or scare?
Will you let
me answer prayer in you
and you in me?
3. Will you let
the blinded see
if I but call your name?
Will you set
the prisoners free
and never be the same?
Will you kiss
the leper clean,
and do such
as this unseen,
and admit to
what I mean in you
and you in me?
4. Will you love
the “you” you hide
if I but call your name?
Will you quell
the fear inside
and never be the same?
Will you use the
faith you’ve found
to reshape the
world around,
through my sight and
touch and sound in you
and you in me?
5. Lord, your summons
echoes true
when you but
call my name.
Let me turn
and follow you
and never be the same.
In your company I’ll go
where your love
and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move
and live and grow in you
and you in me.
