Blessed Assurance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I looked around
And realized
I'm not where I should be
I lost my way some time ago
Filling up on an empty life
And I ignored His mercy
Then from behind, I felt a gentle breeze
Brush my neck, and turn my head
Then I knew He was right there with me


[Chorus]
I heard a voice in the windstorm
Speak to me in a whisper
The Holy words seemed the loudest
When I sat silently
He spoke truth I could understand
Loving me absolutely
He gave me new hope and blessed assurance

[Verse 2]
I don't understand me
I know what's right
Yet I keep going wrong
What I want to do, I don't
And what I don't, I do
It's been this way all along
I can't escape this captivity; I'm trapped by sin's depravity
But I do know He'll rescue me

[Bridge]
How sweet the sound of grace
Calling out for me
