Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance There's more to life than this ole' world He is holding me Faith in what I can't see Left with my walls tumbling down Calloused and bruised My heart lay on the ground Try as I will, try as I might I will climb one mountain And through faith tell the other to MOVE! I could be upset that things are not what I want them to be But I know the blessed assurance And Jesus is holding me Lord, give me the words to write to speak for mine are so clumsy My heart is soft and open wide for I found love for the very first time The chains that held me before They don't hold me anymore One eve my walls came tumbling down All my deceit lay in front of me My face to the ground but this sin could not hold me Through Christ is freedom Oh, blessed assurance There's more to life than this ole' world He is holding me My heart soft and opened wide Yes, I found true love for the very first time The chains that held me before Well, no, they can't hold me anymore Lord, give me the words to write and speak for mine are so clumsy Left with life so new and bright steppin in His light Try as I will, try as I might I will climb one mountain And through faith tell the other to MOVE! With the blessed assurance Jesus is holding me Faith in what can't be seen
