Beyond pain
Beyond consciousness
Beyond shame.
He takes me beyond
All earthly fetters and chains
He fills up my world
Until nothing remains.
Beyond touch
Beyond sight
Beyond reason
Beyond right.
He takes me beyond
The prison fear brings
My spirit's released
And my heart has found wings.
Beyond fear
Beyond measure
Beyond flesh
Beyond pleasure.
He takes me beyond
The places I've been
Only to return to me
And take me again...beyond.
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are, how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill
