If you didn't mind, I'd post the lyrics here (it's public domain), but I wouldn't want to take up too much space. Look it up, if you have a minute.

I hated hymns growing up (what kid likes listening to hymns?), but I like them now that they mean something to me. Hi LawWife – I’ve probably heard it before but can’t recall it now.

I hadn't heard this hymn in a long time then we sang it in church today, then I come here and here it is again. Filled with His goodness, lost in His love... I love God’s timing.

Although I am a horrible singer and a mediocre musician, I found the chords and began 'singing' and 'strumming.' It was great. Thanks.

"Blessed Assurance" was one of the songs, and for the first time, those words really sunk in. I realized just how unworthy I am before God. How good He is to a wretch like me!

I love the theological balance of this hymn. In fact, I am rediscovering the hymns and their theological balance in light of the latest 'metaphorical metaphysical chrouses' that the vineyard / third wave / riverite crowd gave us since 1994 when the Toronto Blessing took place.

"Oh what a <em>foretaste</em> of glory divine." I must often recall that I have tasted and it has been good. The appetizer is always tasty, but never as satisfying as the main course. What a feast it will be! Thanks for sharing this beautiful, theologically accurate hymn, La Shawn. Good prep for tomorrow morning :) That is one of my favorite hymns. “Oh what a foretaste of glory divine.” I must often recall that I have tasted and it has been good.

It's nice to see something so refreshing in the midst of depressing political news. If only more people kept their eyes focused on God, politics wouldn't be so dreadful. That was just beautiful!
