Caused me to be introspective, to focus on
The words of the hymn we sang.
It was a familiar one, "Be Thou My Vision," but
The message was profound.
One line in particular pierced my soul,
"Thou my best thought by day or by night."
My brain is constantly bombarded by
Mundane, painful, even sinful thoughts, but
When I turn my attention to God, the
"High King of Heaven," I rise above my
Anxious ponderings that pull me down.
It's true.
"Father, my most noble reflection,
My best possible thought all day long and
Through the night hours is Thee."
(Hymn versified by Eleanor Hull)
