Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

Then sings my soul
Your abundant love for me
A sinner in the world I am
Raise me up to be

Greater than I could be
My faith in it's weakness
By your loving grace
You created my uniqueness

Farther lift me up
Lead me by your light
From blindness and the darkness
You are my visions sight

Steps that lay ahead
Rocky is the road
Heavenly father lift me up
Your yoke is the light load

The story of my life
In your hands it be
Bless me I'm the sinner
Lord lift me up to thee

My soul sings for you lord
The sinner that you saved
Jesus lift me up to be
Worthy of the road you've paved

Deeper than I know
Holy spirit in me fill
May a glimpse of your glory
Come forth and in me spill

Amen and hallelujah
Jesus walks with me
Towards your holy light
Lord Im forgiven in thee

Speak the name of Jesus
Over the lost and blind
His amazing unending grace
Has the power to find

The heart that needs healing
A soul that's lost it's way
Speak the name of Jesus
In prayerful words each day

Be the light of the lamp
That shines on pathways
Leading you towards Jesus
To know his loving ways

Be in faith like a mustard seed
That grows into a mighty tree
Speak the name of Jesus
Please pray it over me

When my faith is weak
My steps are lost
Dear Lord Jesus
You paid a great cost

Blindly I stumbled
Reach for you hand
Longing oh Lord
I should understand

The greatest gift
Upon that cross
Cry dearest ones
For our loss

Risen you are
To free my sin
A resurrection
Is a life to begin

My weakness is taken
My heart cleansed anew
You draw my heart
Jesus a longing for you

Go and see
The angels said
The saviour King
In a manger bed
Cradled him
In Swaddling clothes
A virgin mother
Her saviour chose
Shepherds worshiped
This precious sight
Angels sang hallelujah
Into the night
Hosanna in the highest
He is born to save
His begotten son
The good Lord gave
A humble birth
A royal King
Lion and the lamb
He's everything.

Looking in the mirror
To see what's going on
Peering around the corner
For things a heart so longs

My faith needs your assurance
Jesus take my hand
My faith becomes so weak
In the depths of the sand

Like the many grains
Are the trouble of my life
Looking in the mirror Jesus
Your voice is the sweeteners of the fife

Tears streak your child's face
Looking in the mirror
You gently wipe them away
Your love is ever nearer

Dear Lord Jesus
I'm looking in the mirror
You've taken my trembling hand Lord
Jesus your love is ever nearer

Time has passed
The road we have walked
Things we've said
When the road is forked

Faith falls weak
In the soft cool sand
My cry Lord Jesus
Take my hand

In you it is done
When my faith is weak
You raise me up
Your voice will speak

Words of love
That lift me up
Praise you Jesus
Raise the cup

Be with me now
In the steps I'll tread
When the sun is risen
Until I lay my head

I'll walk with you
In the darkest times
Your never forsaken
My love for you climbs

Over the mountains
In the deepest seas
You can't be separated
My promise decrees

By deed or by sin
Child I'm your creator
Stay on my pathway
Heavens rewards are far greater

Above earthly riches
Nothing compares
I'll walk with you always
Through all your despairs

My yoke is easy
My burden is light
I'll walk with you every step
In faith and might

Raise me up in your joy
When my heart fears
Take my hand father
Wipe away my tears

You are with me always
In the night my heart be still
My prayer lord Jesus
The Holy spirit fill

I'm your stumbling child
My faith needs your hand
Leading me towards thee
Across the soft  cool sand

Your breath is the sea breeze
Gently blowing to cool my face
Your light sparkling across the ocean
I long to take my place

Lift me up lord Jesus
Walk this road with me
Heavenly Father I'm your child
I long to be with thee

The last super
The veil is torn
Death was arrested
And my life was born

Freed from my sin
When he raised the cup
Remember him always
When you share in the sup

Appeared was he
To those whom he loved
Tell all the nations
The lamb is beloved

Prophecy fulfilled
Now it is done
Jesus assended
He is the one

The great I am
The lion and lamb
Blessed all decebdants
Of Abraham

Never the ending
Of what's to be told
Grow in your faith
The great atone has rolled

He lay in a manger
She gazed into his face
A mothers love abounds in her heart
The infant will take his place

To a son she had given birth
In a filthy cattle shed
Swaddling cloth wrapped him
So the wise men said

Worshiped was this little one
The precious lamb was born
He'd be destined to serve mankind
Beyond the veil torn

The stone hearted would despise
The lion and the lamb
They would be in denial
He is the great I Am

From the womb he was nursed
In a borrowed tomb he lay
His farther led his ministry
He wept, he loved , each day

Go beyond the heartfelt grief
Of our saviour on the cross
His beaten bloodied body
The crucifixion is not a loss

The heavenly angles sing hallelujah
Arisen is our sovereign King
In a borrowed tomb
The lamb gave us everything
