BE THOU MY VISION (BE MY TRUE LIGHT)//COVERS BY DEREK
Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “Be Thou My Vision (Be My True Light)”
I was playing around with this familiar hymn, Be Thou My Vision, and in the turnaround sections between verses, I started adding a separate lyric line. “Be Thou my vision, Be my true light, High King of heaven, my soul satisfied.” With hymns, I don’t often rework or reimagine melodies. But sometimes an additional line seems to fit. In a lot of our modernized worship music, bringing hymns into our context is just a small way to keep them fresh and to appeal to a multi-generational audience. I love that so many hymns can do that and that they still speak, no matter how old. Be Thou My Vision is (again) a huge favorite of mine. There’s so much depth in these lyrics; the writer desires a true closeness with the Lord. I say this a lot but these truly are some of my favorite lines of any hymn out there. Hope you’ll enjoy this one!

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 vision, Be my true light
High King of heaven, my soul satisfied
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
Be Thou my vision, Be my true light
High King of heaven, my soul satisfied
Be Thou my vision, Be my true light
High King of heaven, my soul satisfied
