I FIGURED IT OUT!!
It is 'Blessed Assurance' by Third Day from Next Door Savior
I actually figured it out this morning on the way to church - the radio played a swing version of the song - I think the DJ said it was from a Women of Faith cd.
Anyway, Third Day was one of the first bands I thought of, but I couldn't find it on any of their albums, turns out it was on a 'variouis artists' album.
I ended up doing the layout of my grandma using the lyrics from "Homesick" by MercyMe, it was anoher song that was on a lot when she died, and made me think of her for obvious reasons. Blessed Assurance was one that I always remember her sitting at her piano singing. They featured "Have You Been To Calvary" at her funeral, my aunts thought it was her favorite - but I always thought "Blessed Assurance" was one of her favorites.
Anyway - thanks to everyone who tried to help - even if you didn't post and were racking your brain for me.
Here's the layout that I made if anyone wants to look
Homesick
Plus one that I made of my other Grandma which features her favorite poem "footprints"
Footprints
I still have many more to make to complete my memory album of my grandma - but this one was probably the hardest (maybe - though, the other one I made of her was super hard as well) I suppose I will have to make another and feature "Blessed Assurance" since I spent so much time and so many tears trying to figure it out.
Here are the lyrics:
1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
(Refrain)
