Jesus In 3/4 Time

If I gave you my blessing and rid you goodnight

Something is holding me down

Once I was baptized but that was alright

Now if I just can be found

Living for Jesus, day after day

Nobody lives quite that strong

Blessed assurance, is one thing to know

And another to sing in a song

Well the family possessions passed on to me

No longer fit in my hand

Once I was saved, that one was free

I'd be pleased to know just where I stand

Living for Jesus, making it pay

Well now, nobody lives quite that long

Once I was baptized now I am free

Singing the new gospel song

Singing higher, and higher, and higher

Singing higher, and higher, and higher

Singing higher, and higher, and higher
