A song for the ache
I have always appreciated the great truth expressed in this song. As I sit in the office and busy myself with various tasks that *need* to be accomplished, it is wonderful to have mp3's to remind myself why I am here, who is my portion, & what it is I truly long for. My soul is bitter with forgetfulness, but when I remember You, I am most blessed.
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Be all else but naught to me, save that Thou art
Be Thou my best thought in the day and the night
Both waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true Word
Be Thou ever with me and I with thee Lord
Be Thou my great Father and I Thy true son
Be Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be Thou my whole armor, be Thou my true might
Be Thou my soul's shelter, be Thou my strong tower
O raise Thou me heavenward, great power of my power...
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
Be Thou mine inheritance now and always
Be Thou and Thou only the first in my heart
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure Thou art
High King of heaven, o heaven's bright sun
O grant me its joys after victory is won
Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be Thou my vision, o Ruler of all...
Still be Thou my vision,
O ruler of all
O ruler of all

Thank you for posting this song! That's the first time I've ever heard it, amazingly (considering how popular it is). You and I always like the same songs :-P
Hey Carly,
yep, we do indeed... ;p
I have another version of Be Thou My Vision performed by Selah. I'll try to post it sometime soon. =) This one's by the composer John Rutter. We sang it in choir a couple of years back.
