From David Jay Jordan- poem to Jesus
Beyond My Reason
Jesus, lover of my soul and essential part
Of who I am and what fills my heart
Transport this child to some celestial height
Where the dance of angels will fill my sight
l hear your voice O Judah's Lion
Telling of the great golden City of Zion
Where sun nor moon will be shining bright
But the glory of God its brilliant light
I can see the One Upon the Throne
He holds my heart that once was stone
And tears fall down His lovely face
To mingle with mine like heavenly lace
Between His hands is a jar, exquisite and rare
My pain and sorrow contained in there
He holds the vessel with delicate care
Whilst His eyes melt all, in one compassionate stare
Lord, you love me far beyond my reason
With an intensity of feeling that has no season
But blows eternally through clouds of divinity
To surround and carry me into infinity.
