Story behind the song
dad sent this poem to me weeks before he passed away asking if i'd like to try and put music to it....on first glance, it didn't seem quite the "everything in place" sort of writing i was used to from dad....it seemed almost a sort of lament to the Lord...thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ who hears our cries and answers....thanks to you too dad...love working with you on the songs....love ya ...jer
Lyrics
OH BEAUTIFUL STAR OF DAVID
Oh beautiful Star of David,
How brightly you shine
Over land and sea -
How wonderful that you shine there,
Even for lowly me --
When I am alone in my desolate way,
You shine upon my path;
And help me through my journey,
And into a place of rest --
Oh beautiful Star of David,
Continue to shine on me-
Let me be your beacon,
Along the coast and sea--
Oh beautiful Star of David,
Shine on for even me -
Oh beautiful Star of David,
Shine on for lowly me.
