Music Monday - Be Thou My Vision
This coming Saturday will by Thomas' 4th Birthday. Its hard to imagine that my little boy is becoming a big boy. Thomas is my "middleman." Thomas sometimes can also be my most challenging child. He is very stubborn and will only do things in his time. He didn't walk until 20 months, crawling was just as good if not quicker at the time. He only in this last year has started talking. We are currently seeing a speech therapist to work on that. Saying all this though, he is the first to hug me every morning and loves to sit on my lap just to give me kisses. How you stay mad at that.
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.
Now go over to Saved by Grace and list your Music Monday with Shawntele.
