30 Day Song Challenge | Day 1: Favorite Song

Some time back (like, several years ago now, eek), my friend Miss Melody Muffin, took part in this challenge, and as it’s been on my mind of late, methough I’d do it, too.

Toady’s challenge is to share my favorite song.

Ugh, only one??

*Ponders*

I’m going to give that honor to “Be Thou My Vision,” one of my favorite hymns, and this beautiful arrangement in particular:

Be Thou My Vision (Selah)

(This group is usually more contemporary/pop than I prefer, but this song is pretty good. The “heavy breathing” in the middle is a bit…odd…but I love the Celtic feel of the accompaniment.)

There’s a verse to this song that I found on another blog (back in my Xanga days), which isn’t in any hymnal that I’ve seen, but is such an awesome picture of spiritual warfare and God’s protection:

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!
