Be Thou My Vision is an old hymn. I was asked to come up with an .alt version for a project and this is what I did.

lyrics

BE MY VISION BLUES
re-write of the traditional hymn

Be my vision oh Lord of my heart
nothing else matters except that you are
you are my best thought by day or by night
waking or sleeping your presence is my light

Be my wisdom and be my true word
I'm always with you and you with me Lord
you're my dear father and I your true son
you're always with me and I with you - we're one

Be my breastplate and a sword for the fight
be my inheritance and my delight
be my strong shelter and be my high tower
guard me and keep me, oh power of my power

Riches I crave not, or man's earthly praise
you're my inheritance now and always
you and you only be first in my heart
high king of heaven, my treasure is what you are

High king of glory, when the victory's won
may I reach heaven, oh bright heaven's sun
heart of my own heart, whatever befall
still be my vision, oh ruler of all
still be my vision.
