Something new?

Okay, I think I am gonna do something different. . . a song. . .

Be Thou my Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son,
Thou in my dwelling and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joy, O bright heaven's Son
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.


**Hymn books make great devotions. Learning where they originated and how each song came about puts a new light on singing each one. Try it. . .makes your worship experience greater!

Fabulous!
