This Is My Story

This is similar to what I heard in church a couple weeks ago - a flute playing This Is My Story during communion. The beauty of the flute made me want to get mine out and play again, and I just got lost in the words of the song (actually entitled Blessed Assurance):


Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory devine!
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.

Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echos 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.


I love to share my stories - on my blog, with my friends, through pictures, in all sorts of ways! How special that my Savior is part of my story - and He knows the ending. That last line talks about being lost in God's love as we wait for heaven. I want my praises to Him to be part of my story every day, in thankfulness for His salvation and the hope that is to come. We are part of a great story!
