This rendition of the timeless hymn “Blessed Assurance” will move you. It’s a beautiful and powerful performance of a tune that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Watch this short but chilling clip to listen to this dazzling performance of “Blessed Assurance.”
This world is a fallen and lost place, full of people who are hurting and struggling, hoping just to make it through another day. They are hunting and searching for answers, for a solution, anything to alleviate their pain momentarily. Soon after discovering their temporary “solutions,” their pain, hurt, sorrow and grief return.
Many people on this Earth are living their lives completely and utterly lost, without a glimmer of hope. But that does not have to be the case, because there is an answer to their problem, a permanent solution to whatever is ailing them: Jesus Christ. He went to the cross, suffered an agonizing and horrible death for them, for you and for me – for everyone.
Without Him, we have no hope, but with His love and forgiveness, we can have assurance that once our time on this Earth is over, we’ll spend eternity with Him. In a clip posted on YouTube, a choir and a congregation sing “Blessed Assurance,” a hymn, which is a favorite of many, about the assurance found in Christ alone. We can know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we have been forgiven of our sin and that Heaven awaits us.
“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood”
Even if that old hymn is not one of your favorites, the song’s lyrics and message are as powerful, moving and relevant as when they were first put onto paper. God’s love, mercy and forgiveness are available to all who call upon His name.
1 John 5:13 “I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.”
In this honest and heartfelt conversation, for KING & COUNTRY open up about how their journey with Jesus has grown and deepened through every season of life.
From childhood faith to adult struggles, they talk about embracing the mystery of God, learning not to take grace for granted, and discovering fresh mercy every morning. Joel shares how perfectionism, shame, and the pressure to “do it right” are met with overwhelming redemption and love — and how that truth continues to shape both his life and his music.
It’s also why their songs take time. For them, the lyrics aren’t imagined — they’re lived. The highest highs, the lowest lows, family, faith, and real-life moments all become the soundtrack behind the music they create.
Because at the end of the day, they’re not chasing catchy songs — they’re chasing songs that change lives.
