Wiping the mud off my eyes.....

Jesus granting my sight...... 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.
.
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.
~Dallan Forgaill



The past days have been my worst, followed by my best.
God is good to restore a vision,
allowing a glimpse again of His grace.
Worshipping him, laying on my back in the grass to really see the blue sky,
preaching the gospel to myself,
and fellowship with fellow fighters;
all these graces to remind me:
I am trusting in a God who is trustworthy.

God bless you and heal your heart. Thank you for this hymn - a favorite- and such a reassuring reminder.
