I was invited to lead a group of wonderful group of women in song during a special ministry night called, “Lasting Beauty.” Unfortunately, I somehow contracted severe laryngitis a few days before the event, so I was unable to sing strongly. The women were amazing—I asked them to sing louder than me, to sing & bless my heart while I played the piano, and just sang a few words here & there. What precious moments I had hearing them sing this song! Really touched my soul! True communion & community. Thank you, First Pres Augusta!
Be Thou my vision O lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save 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, Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
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, thy victory one,
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
