Jars Of Clay - Be Thou My Vision Lyrics






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 are

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

Jars Of Clay Be Thou My Vision Comments
  1. I.... S....

    I remember going thru a depression that petitioned for me to leave this world by my own hand...this song ushered me into Gods presence and held me so close... #tears. I remember knowing at that moment that " it was ok not to be ok sometimes "... God held me so close... Ive come a long way from that tear soaked blue sofa in the empty apt mourning the loss of my daughter... truly God is so Good !

    I wish i could be super super close with God seemingly over night and I wake up in the morning with a very close relationship with him and that i will be able to clearly hear his voice

  8. K.... K....

    I have always liked Jars of Clay and their music - however, after hearing Sam Robson do this beautiful hymn (it's here on youtube) - it just doesn't compare. If you love this hymn as I do - take a minute to listen to Sam.

    K.... K....

    I absolutely adore this song!!!!! I think it's the best version ever invented!!!i prefer songs that really are aiming at worshiping God!

  13. E.... ....

    I prefer the Ascend the Hill version, so good!

  14. A.... H....

    I absolutely love this song!
    It is the best version I have ever heard!
    I can't play it once without listening to it again. :)

  15. B.... A....

    Win the argument... Lose the soul... Forever.

  16. A.... P....

    Really pretty version, brings a great fresh sound to the song.

  17. T.... ....

    The most beautiful version I've ever heard.

  18. M.... ....

    Why does his voice sound unusually scratchy at the beginning?

  19. d.... ....

    @MsLazycatt same! ahaha

  20. j.... ....

    this is by far the most beautiful hymn ever written, however this cover of it is one of the worst i've ever heard.

  21. M.... ....

    AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!

  22. L.... M....

    @jimzmeys or they just didnt like the song...?

  23. A.... ....

    yes, let us always have "civil" discussions and NEVER doubt anyone's salvation! We're all buddies, and we are all going to heaven! yaaaaay!

  24. J.... ....

    2 people were atheists or muslims.

  25. S.... ....

    Hello......I wanna play a game.......

  26. D.... B....

    @mrchuckmorris Sheryle Crow. :)

  27. D.... B....

    Anyone Else notice that Sheryl Crow is singing the vocals? lol

  28. D.... ....

    @cykoo87 I'm glad we had a civil discussion about the issue.

  29. D.... ....

    @cykoo87 It's not hate brother, it's anger due to the lack of respect for a man who died for his faith. That's wrong no question about it.

  30. D.... ....

    Jars of Clay you guys should be ashamed at how you ruined this song. Be thou my vision was written by Dallan Forgaill a man who was martyred for his faith. And You dare remove the lines "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." This was either an act of cowardice or a misstep due to ignorance neither of which you should be proud of.

  31. m.... ....

    @jacob3432 i'm trying to find out too. I know Leigh Nash sings with them a lot, but it doesn't sound like her. A little more like Sara Groves. If it's someone who isn't just a punchcard backup singer, I'd wager it's her.

  32. J.... ....

    whos the female voice please?

  33. J.... ....

    @Darkestone46and2 i thought this was a pretty heartfelt cover

  34. T.... ....

    Love. <3
