Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

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

They came to that place
Together they shared
In the days that followed
They loved and they cared

A mighty wind blew
Tongues of flames leapt
In each one's human heart
The Holy Spirit kept

A place to share a great love
Of the lord their God
Each and every way
Jesus has surely trod

They spoke in tongues
And each one rejoiced
In His mighty name
Hallelujah in His voice

Of theLord their God
Hearts spirit spilled
That moved in that place
God's promises fulfilled

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
