01/04/20 BE THOU MY VISION

All believers should have a vision.
Our vision should begin with, and end with Christ.
We should desire what He desires.
Our family, church and ministry vision should be grounded in Christ and His word.

Here is a song that focuses our vision on God. I hope you enjoy the music and the lyrics. As always, I try to choose good singers, but I don't always know about the singers themselves. This post is about the message of the song.

This version has the words written. I choose to listen and listen again, reading and singing, along with the video. As I drink-in the words and allow the Holy Spirit to fill me, I enter into worship and praise and submission to God.

Here are words to five verses.
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 me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

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 joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
