- 1Blessèd 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.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.
- 2Perfect submission, perfect delight,Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;Angels descending bring from aboveEchoes of mercy, whispers of 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.
- 3Perfect submission, all is at restI 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.
