Because He Lives - Matt Maher

This is Amazing Grace ~ Phil Wickham

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, 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, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man's 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.

Amazing Grace

I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe

I prefer the no-nonsense ones, like God of our Fathers and the Navy Hymn. On the other hand, I find a lot of the 19th century female hymnographers (e.g., Fanny Crosby) to be so saccharine they make my teeth ache. And don't get me started on so-called praise music...

Are we not called: that we should not be judgemental
lest, we also be judged, by the same measure

Who 'amongst-us' is so-perfect....

I voiced opinions, not judgments. Please don't confuse the two. Oh, by the way: consider using a spelling checker.

Too-close 'a call', to decide exactly 'what' your meaning was intended to be, to be quite-honest with you

My QUESTIONS, were not accusatorial

Yes, I too fall short of perfect ...
I often wished I had written / sung something I heard
I do not claim to be perfect... just very blessed \o/

Maybe I'm hypersensitive, but accusing and overwhelmingly self-righteous is sure how they came across--and they were most certainly not questions, either: there were no question marks anywhere. If you were in doubt, you could have just let it ride: take that as a suggestion for the next time you're undecided as to how to take a post.

And while we're at it, I'd suggest consulting a text on grammar and style for the correct use of single and double quote marks and capitalization.

"Are we" & "Who" are not 'interrogatives' (you are saying) ?

I suggest a second read... and perhaps, even, a third
I posted that with no such intent... just a rhetorical 'heads-up' ~so 'to-write'

I can't thank you enough for singling me out as a target for your own brand of self-righteousness as you did in your initial response. You might have been less welcoming to a newcomer who merely posted opinions, but it would have taken an admirable if not herculean effort to do so. We've never met in person and I hope to keep it that way.

A tree, shall be known for it's fruit....

For every castigatory comment these "hymnographers" may have received
I very much expect, that they have been lauded many-hundreds of times, more

Look, for 'the plank' (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7:3-5)
