Lyrics
Verse 1
Blessed 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.
Verse 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 (Repeat)
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.
Verse 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.
Final 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.

Meaning & Inspiration
Blessed Assurance frames Christian identity as a settled certainty—Jesus belongs to the believer, and the believer belongs to God through salvation. The lyrics move from that assurance into a posture of praise that becomes a daily story. The refrain’s repetition of “this is my story” suggests that testimony is not a past event but a continuing song.
The second and third verses describe surrender and rest. Perfect submission here sounds less like passive resignation and more like a deliberate yielding that produces delight and peace. Lines about angels and whispers of love point to an unseen spiritual reality surrounding the believer. The closing phrase, “lost in His love,” carries a sense of being absorbed into something greater than oneself.
Scripture speaks of peace that surpasses understanding, and this hymn echoes that idea. The assurance is grounded in biblical language of being born of the Spirit and washed in blood, which evokes passages about redemption and cleansing. The song’s theology is experiential—it treats certainty as something felt and sung, not merely believed.
