Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought be day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
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
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and werejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
*I need grace and humility to remember this. I need to preach the gospel to myself daily. His mercies are NEVER failing.
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence, my light.
The lyrics. This is one of my favorites. Bwahh!
Lothlorien (or Rivendell) sounds a bit like how I imagine heaven.
Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.
Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
And give thanks to His holy name!
Psalm 97: 11-12
“The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope. This is the only kind of relationship that will really transform us.”
-Tim Keller
