Be Thou My Vision

[PromisedJubilee]

I was searching for a good version of this (you know, without stupid footling about with the melody) and even though you fudged on the words that one time, you're a fantastic singer. Just thought I'd say so. And I don't say that to everyone.

[thestevage04]

Excellent! Sing it to god man!

[wrdane]

Your version, one of SO many, spoke directly to my heart as it obviously did to yours too. You sing and play with apparent ease, what a blessing. Thank you for posting and sharing your talent and your passion.

[Peekab008]

I must say that I have been looking for someone to sing this song as soulfully as you have...I love this song and you sang it beautifully. Keep up the amazing singing and playing. God has really given you a gift

[Breakoon]

Can we get married?

I'm kidding.

But seriously.

[TianaLovesUnderoath]

You sound like a mixture of Leeland and Jars of Clay! Your voice is so lovely, I love it. <3

God bless you.

[HalloweenNarutoChick]

Oh my!! I love it!

[SuhmanthuhMN]

Aha :]

I had to sing this song in choir.

Your little mess up at the beginning was cute. I'm sure I was the only one to notice, saying I know this song by heart. :P

[jimfarrowlove]

Awesome.  Just great.

[on9beely]

very beautiful voice~~~very touching~~~

[TeineUaine]

Beautifully done!!

[littletinybunbun]

i love this song!!! you do it wondrfully

[PrincessEm91]

You have a beautiful voice, and this video is stunning in the black and white. I love the choice of hat, it adds to the Irish feel of the hymn.

My only comment on making this better is that you make sure all of the words are correct, there were a couple "thy"s in places where I was supposed to be used, and such like that.

Other than that, bravo to you!

[davidosmaximos]

beauteous. You're a talented one for sure. Keep feeding that blessing!

peace,

d

[brianthegreat05]

Man you have an awesome voice! You should really get your stuff on itunes.

[lakebreeze11]

Wow! This a beautiful cover of this song. Your voice is very calming to listen too, you remind me so much of Phil Wickham.

[susiakasinead]

Well done!

[sweetgirlharm]

That was really beautiful!

I'm gonna favorite it!

[TaraTrapper]

Van Morrison does the best edition of this tune, pure poetic with meaning

[DarknessEats]

but was Van Morrison a Christian?

[TaraTrapper]

What's that got to do with the price of cabbage???????

[DarknessEats]

the song was written as a prayer to God, if you don't mean it than I'd rather not hear you sing it

[TaraTrapper]

Thats your opinion... if YOU are a Christian you wouldn't really be coming out with that statement... And by the by Van Morrison was and is a Christian.. Open your mind a little.. it wont hurt... 'He wasn't a Christian so he shouldn't sing the song because he doesn't mean it..' Some people baffle me with their ignorance.. do you ever find that in life?

[DarknessEats]

firstly, I never said he wasn't...I asked if he was...by putting words in my mouth you commit a logical fallacy

and what does opening my mind have to do with this? open my mind to what, if you please?

thirdly...I said I'd rather not hear someone sing the song if they're not Christian...they can sing it all they like...sing away

were you saying something of ignorance?

[mellowye1966]

why do you assume that he isn't a Christian? You are the kind of person that turns people away from God putting out judgments like that. Get of your horse and look in your own mirror.

[DarknessEats]

you apparently missed the part where I said I didn't claim to know whether Van Morrison was a Christian or not. I simply asked whether he was. Hmmm...turning people away from God for asking questions...so which questions am I allowed to ask?

[AndrewDeLong]

Okay, this goes out to DarknessEats, mellowye1966 & TaraTrapper. Please just enjoy THIS version of the song for what it is and who is singing it. There's no need for this bickering on the comments page. leave that to PM's. Thanks.

[DarknessEats]

LOL...alright Andrew...I'll hush

[AndrewDeLong]

heh, thanks, i just like to keep "debates" to politics.

[DarknessEats]

I seem to attract controversy...and by the way...I don't know who did it...but what's with marking that previous conversation as spam?...that wasn't spam...sheesh

[AndrewDeLong]

Sorry, that may (or may not) have been me, when I went to leave a comment on a vid a while back, I havd forgotten that I had exceeded my commenting limmit and accidentally hit the spam button. a stupid mistake, I know and I'm sorry for it...if in fact this is the vid I did it on, not 100% sure, but sorry nonetheless.

[DarknessEats]

ah well, no worries

[AppelMak]

who says he doesn't mean it?

[DarknessEats]

I'm not talking about this Thistle and Bramble fellow....we were discussing Van Morrison....and I didn't claim to know whether he meant it or not...sigh

[AppelMak]

meh

[mellowye1966]

I'm wonder how you think you can judge this man's heart???

[jross286]

dude you are awesome...ive had this video favorited for a while now but i still listen to it all the time...

i really like how you didnt edit out the mess up..that shows that you don't care what others tink..i like that..keep up the good work for the Lord man....

[AndrewDeLong]

This has to be one of the best versions I've heard of this song in a goos while. Keep it up man!!!

[liliodine]

Thanks for posting!!

[ssbchic71]

really good. =]

[brettactordirector]

Very nice  =)

[mayermusic1092]

Great job dude, i play this song at church every now and then.

[JCsdancer07]

wow stephan! i love this song, and i really liked your take on it. awesome! : )

[SilentThunder93]

This has been my favorite hymm/overall song for a while, but it never really spoke to me until I heard your version. Thank You.

[MrSlacker12]

Great cover dude. It would be great if you could put up some chords or tabs for this. It's really a powerful version.

[DarknessEats]

does playing a hymn count as a cover?

[RurouniHeart]

I don't think so... the song isn't copyrighted. it's a pretty old song.

[DarknessEats]

lol...thanks but the question was hypothetical...I was employing the Socratic method...rather poorly I suppose

[kianzu]

that sounds amazing.. :)

[candiferous]

i'm not even religious or anything but this song just is crazy good. you've got a great voice man

[brokendownb4]

im in love with your voice.....its so good!!! you are so simple and beautiful!!!

[RurouniHeart]

Hey, I like =) try more hmyns!

I remember singing this hymn, if only most churches actually still sang hymns, I miss them.

[JesusisKing4]

Aww Stephen! This is I think your best video yet! You couldn't possibly have picked a better song! Unless, *cough cough* It was "So Close" O:-D

[RachieGrace]

Magnificent. :D

[Lilybecc]

That was really good! And I love that song! :D
