High King of Heaven... My victory won............
The lyrics of this song capture me... rivet me... pursue me.. "HEART OF MY OWN HEART!"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A most desperate prayer pulsates through me this evening.. what more beautiful realities could exist but to cry out for these....
So sweet Jesus... Beyond all else I ask that You... You would be my vision.. You are my best thought ... Your presence is my light.. Be my wisdom... be my Father.. may I be your truest daughter... Dwelling together...
Oh BE my battle shield... be that which stands before me and behind me and about me ... surround me in your presence.. High King of Heaven... those words.. "High King of Heaven," none better than those....
Heart of my own heart.... Be my vision.. Ruler of all.. Ruler of me....
