Be Thou My Vision

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, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor vain, 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

Colossians 1:15-23

The Supremacy of the Son of God
¹⁵ The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. ¹⁹ For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, ²⁰ and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

²¹ Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[a] your evil behavior. ²² But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— ²³ if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Oh Lord Your Tenderness

Oh Lord, Your Tenderness
Melting All My Bitterness
Oh Lord, I Receive Your Love
Oh Lord, Your Loveliness
Changing All My Ugliness
Oh Lord, I Receive Your Love
Oh Lord, I Receive Your Love


Oh Let The Son Of God Enfold You

Oh Let The Son Of God Enfold You
With His Spirit And His Love
Let Him Fill Your Heart And Satisfy Your Soul
Oh Let Him Have The Things That Hold You
And His Spirit Like A Dove
Will Descend Upon Your Life And Make You Whole

Jesus, Oh Jesus
Come And Fill Your Lambs
Jesus, Oh Jesus
Come And Fill Your Lambs

Oh Come And Sing This Song With Gladness
As Your Hearts Are Filled With Joy
Lift Your Hands In Sweet Surrender To His Name
Oh Give Him All Your Tears And Sadness
Give Him All Your Years Of Pain
And You’ll Enter Into Life In Jesus’ Name

Jesus, Oh Jesus
Come And Fill Your Lambs
Jesus, Oh Jesus
Come And Fill Your Lambs

Colossians 1:24-29

Paul’s Labor for the Church

²⁴ Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. ²⁵ I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— ²⁶ the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. ²⁷ To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

²⁸ He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. ²⁹ To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.
