The Story Behind "Blessed Assurance"

One day, Phoebe Knapp was visiting with her dear friend, Fanny Crosby.  She play a simple melody for her and asked her what she thought.  Fanny replied, "Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine".

Despite being blind, Fanny had a spiritual insight that is to be strived for.  She has blessed many of us with her hymn and poem writing.


Blessed Assurance has been my favorite song since I was a small child.  here is a beautiful version of it I want to share with you.
