You Wanted It - Emery (Blessed Assurance Lyrics)

"The hymn I can't escape from"

Listen closely and you will hear background vocals sing the old hymn "Blessed assurance" as Toby sings the following verse:

"You made it such a lonely world
Such a very lonely world
You bent the answers into questions
You let the voice go unheard
And you couldn't trust yourself
Cause what if everything you felt
Meant this was not yours alone
Every single word
Every single little word that was said
And all the simple fears
And all the nights that you cried in your bed
Hoping I was there but you told yourself
You're old and alone
But you were never the widow
You left on your own"

The lyrics are:

"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."

Then the next verse takes up where the hymn left off "I was washed in the blood..."

Another parallel from the hymn you will find "whispers and echoes of love fading" is in the hymn as:

"Echoes of mercy, whispers of love."
