Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

Raise your hands
In your quiet place
Close your eyes
You'll see his precious face

Talk to Jesus
He wants to talk to you
In your quiet place
All hope anew

In His name always
Lift your arms to him
Praise in His  name
Praise him in a hymn

He will always keep you
Nd bless you everyday
He will turn his face towards you
He'll be gracious to in every way

He'll give you peace
And bless you so amen
One day you'll be with him
Then you'll know when

To talk to Jesus
In his presence, in his grace
Loving to see
Jesus precious face

My dear the angels are here
They want to take you home
To Jesus loving arms
You'll never be alone

They make the best cup of tea
Not to strong or hot
They'll play Irish music
They'll love you such a lot

Jesus will be gracious to you
He'll help you find your peace
There's no need to fear
You'll find your sweet release

You're done all you had to do
Loved and cared and knew
Crocheting lovely squares for rugs
It's in your heart to do

My dearest darling girl
It's time for you to go
Be in Jesus loving arms
He'll be all a glow

To have you in his loving arms
In his calm embrace
Look up dear darling girl
Into his precious face

Remember our precious loved ones
Always in our prayers
They've been taken home with him
Where nothing else compares

Be set free
By my love and grace
Seek me child of mine
In my embrace
For a place for you
Awaits in my heart
Child of mine
I've torn the veil apart
Nothing can separate
You from me
Be in quiet prayer
My face you'll see
No pain of heart
Complete peace
In my rampart

Praised  in worship
The Savour King
Hallelujah
We love to sing

Silent night
Cattle lowing
Shepherds see
His glory growing

Swaddling clothes
In a manger laying
A virgin mother
A father praying

Frankincense
Myrrh and gold
Precious gifts
To be hold

Silent night
Hallelujah sing
Ancients foretold
This very thing

Born be he
The lion and the lamb
That silent night
The great I Am

Always my Lord
As it's meant to be
You lift me up
I'm more than I can be

Prayers from the heart
I seek your strength and face
My heart seeks
Your amazing grace

Prayers of adoration
From a humble heart
The veil is torn down
Nothing can tear apart

The bond of love you gave
Is a precious gift to me
Heavenly Father thank you
I'm made more I can be

My heart beats for you Lord
My life's a gift from you
Reveal your plans for me
And the things you'd have me do

Inspired by scripture
James 13 :8

All my sins and failures
You love me just the same
Though my heart
Tends to feel the blame

The reason for the resurrection
Is to forgive my sinful soul
It's written in the scriptures
It's in the ancient scrolls

Your love for me is eternal
More than I can understand
Lord you always lead me
Towards your outstretched hand

You said you are the truth and light
The answer to my prayers
Lord Jesus you are all I need
Nothing else compares

Lift me up and raise me to you
I'm a sinner this I know
Your word is the light
In your love my faith will grow

A child lay tenderly
For the Lord to bless and keep
His face to shine upon you
A prayer for when you sleep

May He be gracious to you
And His face to turn towards
A promise upheld in heaven
His child finds rewards

From all burdens be so free
His love shall never cease
Rest child, in His arms
May the Lord give you peace

Amen

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

God of glory
Majesty
Born and died
To set me free

They buried him
In a borrowed tomb
Fools thought they'd sent
Him to his doom

Three days on the morning
Away the stone rolled
Empty was the tomb
Just as ancients told

He's not there
The angels said
Go and tell everyone
Jesus is not dead

Fear in the hearts
Of his friends
Jesus told them all
This is not the end

The resurrection, friends
Is the greatest gift
A sacrifice Jesus made
From sins to lift

No burden on our hearts
He has set us free
God's amazing grace
Washes over me

When my faith is weak
You are my strong hold
You are with me Lord
In your teachings it's told

I'm with you always
Dear child of mine
The enemy will fall
For my love is divine

Pray dear child
For thousands are taught
In a silent place
My face is sought

My words are on pages
Sung in joyful voice
Lift your heart child
In deep love rejoice

My wings are your rampart
The enemy will fall
Up hold your faith child
Rejoice in my call

For thousands are praying
The truth and the light
Will never be diminished
In my precious sight
