One member of, "the Church," had an amazing "time" in our Living Triune God this morning. I listened and sang along with a group singing "Be Thou My Vision." As I considered those most powerful and beautiful words, I thought of the times in my life when those words were not "walked out." I wept and wept. And then as I continued in fellowship in Jesus, more and more those words were expressing my life's desire, even in those "self-centered days." I know that deep in my heart, the words of this song have always been there------- by the mercy and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, in this chief of sinners.
Some people have asked over the years, when I requested prayer for various endeavors, "How shall I pray for you?" I posted to Facebook today my main life's request from now on in response to, "How can I pray for you?" It is the words and music to, "Be Thou My Vision." I can tell you that in all my almost 75 years I have never found a song which expresses my worship, my hearts desire of our Lord Jesus Christ, my desire for a "signature life style" than the words of that centuries-old song. For me, there is none better.
I repeat with the old Apostle, "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father (and to) our Lord Jesus Christ (and to Holy Spirit)...."
Father, in Jesus' Name, "Be Thou My Vision." Amen.
