"Blessed Assurance...."

Music is so much a part of me. Music with a message especially "feeds" me.

As I am on a journey to healing my trust and faith in God is strong. He created me and knows the workings of my body. He and I "walk" together. My greatest desire right now is to co-operate with Jesus in the healing process. I believe I need to do all I can or know how to do to regain my health. I want to completely submit to His will nutritionally for me.
The consequence of complete submission is "delight" and "rest". Yes, in Jesus Christ I am "happy" and "blest".
Yes, I am "praising my Jesus all the day long...."

A song that is very dear to me is:
Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine
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.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes 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.
Chorus:
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.
Fanny Crosby
