Be Thou My Vision

[Psalms 27:2] When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. [Psalms 27:3] Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident. [Psalms 27:4] One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple. [Psalms 27:5] For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. [Psalms 27:6] Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. [Psalms 27:7] Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

[Psalms 16:6] The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. [Psalms 16:7] I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. [Psalms 16:8] I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. [Psalms 16:9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. [Psalms 16:10] For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. [Psalms 16:11] You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

[Psalms 73:23] Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand. [Psalms 73:24] You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. [Psalms 73:25] Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. [Psalms 73:26] My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. [Psalms 73:27] For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you. [Psalms 73:28] But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

[1 Corinthians 1:28] God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist, [1 Corinthians 1:29] that no flesh should boast before God. [1 Corinthians 1:30] Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, [1 Corinthians 1:31] that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

[John 14:21] One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.” [John 14:22] Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” [John 14:23] Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. [John 14:24] He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me. [John 14:25] “I have said these things to you while still living with you. [John 14:26] But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

[Romans 8:12] So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. [Romans 8:13] For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. [Romans 8:14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. [Romans 8:15] For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” [Romans 8:16] The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; [Romans 8:17] and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. [Romans 8:18] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us. [Romans 8:19] For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

[Romans 8:33] Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. [Romans 8:34] Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. [Romans 8:35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? [Romans 8:36] Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” [Romans 8:37] No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. [Romans 8:38] For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, [Romans 8:39] nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[Matthew 13:42] and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [Matthew 13:43] Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. [Matthew 13:44] “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. [Matthew 13:45] “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, [Matthew 13:46] who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. [Matthew 13:47] “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind, [Matthew 13:48] which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

[Colossians 3:1] If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. [Colossians 3:2] Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. [Colossians 3:3] For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. [Colossians 3:4] When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. [Colossians 3:5] Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. [Colossians 3:6] For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
