Be Thou My Vision - Worship Song

This is a lovely song called Be Thou My Vision

played by Carlton Forrester:

 

 

The song speaks of the Lord being our vision at all times. He is also what gives us wisdom and words to speak what He would want us to say. Not only does He give us His word, He protects us and gives us power for the battle against sin. We need not riches or man's praise for God is the one whom we must please, He is the High King of Heaven who will call us to Himself and will forever and always be the ruler over everything.   

 

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.

 

Blessings,
