Today Pastor Lyle will continue a series of sermons entitled “Seeing Clearly the Songs We Sing,” in which we will look at a number of songs that are a regular part of our Sunday services and reflect on the Biblical themes they develop. This being Palm Sunday, it is fitting to look more closely at the song “Be Thou My Vision,” where we declare that indeed Jesus is High King of Heaven, though His Kingship goes far deeper than what was expected by those who greeted Him as He entered Jerusalem. His is a Kingship that deals with the need of our hearts.
