Bless Assurance: Fanny Crosby
Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 16, 2021 (message contributor)
ASSURANCE: free from doubt, a positive declaration intended to give confidence, a sure promise, in a religious sitting it means salvation by the inner witness of the Holy Spirit that we are justified. No harm will come, with great faith.
FANNY JANE CROSBY was born in 1820 and died in 1915 at the age of 95. At the age of 6 weeks a doctor put a mustard plaster on Fanny’s eyes and she was blind the rest of her life. Fanny refused to weep and sigh because she was blind, she said I cannot and I will not. Fanny said her blindness was a great blessing the Creator gave her. Fanny wrote over 8,000 gospel songs. In 1873, at the age of 42, Fanny was visiting a lady named KNAPP. Mrs. Knapp had written some music. Knapp played the music on the piano and she asked Fanny what is this music saying? Fanny got on her knees and prayed a few minutes then Fanny got up and said: THE SONG’S MUSIC SAYS: BLESSED ASSURANCE JESUS IS MINE. So Mrs. Knapp grabbed a pen as Fanny spoke the words to the song BLESSED ASSURANCE.
BLESSED ASSURANCE, JESUS IS MINE, O WHAT A FORETASTE OF GLORY DIVINE.
HEIR OF SALVATION, PURCHASED 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, ALL IS AT REST. I AND MY SAVIOR AM HAPPY AND BLESSED.
WATCHING AND WAITING, LOOKING ABOVE. FILLED WITH HIS GOODNESS, LOST IN HIS LOVE.
When our second son was little he would walk around the house singing: BLESSED INSURANCE.
