Rousing arrangement of The Rock That Is Higher Than I, perfect for offertory or other special service music.

1. O sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal;
And sorrows, sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul!

2. O sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling in life’s dusty way,
The Rock’s blessed shadow, how sweet!

3. O near to the Rock let me keep,
If bles...(+)

Blessed Assurance and Nine Other Hymns of Assurance for Solo Piano

Assurance. It’s something you can have as a Christian—something you should have as a Christian. Yet many people don’t have it—they fear their salvation is something that can be lost. This is a logical fear. Heaven is a place with no sin, and we are reminded whenever we read through the Bible how short of that standard we fall.
Yet, it is an unnecessary fear, one that arises out of a mischaracterization of our salvation. We’re not saved for anything we’ve done—“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). We’re saved because of what He’s done—“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Christ took the penalty for our sin, and though we are still sinful, the sins we commit after being saved do not cause us to lose our salvation. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:27-28) Now, if no man can snatch Christ’s sheep (His followers) out of his hand, does that not include His followers as well? After all, what are we but men (or women)? Are we somehow more powerful than other men just because we’ve been saved? When Christ said no man could snatch us out of His hand, He meant no man—ourselves included. This is why David did not need to re-trust in God when he committed adultery with Bathsheba, why Solomon did not get totally forsaken when he turned aside after other gods, why the disciples did not need to get re-saved when they abandoned Jesus at His crucifixion. There are consequences for sin, and sinners experience it—all the more the more they sin. But because God is a loving and forgiving God, the sin we do once we are saved does not require us to get saved again. This is something worth praising Him for!
The ten hymns in this collection remind us of this truth—that, and other truths of God that we can be assured of. “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” reminds us that God never fails. “Is My Name Written There?” concludes with a resounding “Yes!” “A Child of the King!” reminds us that we’ve been adopted, and our name’s written down—permanently! We are kept in His love, have life from above, “Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine!” And of course, a collection of hymns about assurance and trust would not be complete without “Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!” I hope you enjoy!
Note: Blessed Assurance can be found in the Praise Him! Praise Him! collection.
