Be Thou My Vision - The Petersens (LIVE)

It's a little windy at the farm! We love "Be Thou My Vision" and we learned it for our Patreon community earlier this year after a hard situation. May we never lose sight of what is truly important in this life and where our hope lies.

Fun fact: We had been asked to sing the national anthem at some live events and decided to record it impromptu as the red barn and blue clothes on this shoot seemed too perfect to pass up!    • The Star-Spangled Banner - The Peters...

►LYRICS - 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

Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight
Thou my soul's shelter, and Thou my high tower
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
Thou my inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, be 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 mine own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all

Be Thou my vision
Be Thou my vision
(Still be my vision)
Be Thou my vision
(Still be my vision) (O Ruler of all)
