Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

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

You are the way
The truth and the light
Draw me towards you
With your great might

I depend on you
Day and night
Bless me father
With such delight

With all my failures
You have given me your grace
A precious gift
In your embrace

I depend on you Jesus
I'm the lost who's found
I'll listen for your voice
When I'm homeward bound

Don't pray like a hypocrite
Shout out your words so they fit
Into long exhausting prayers
Pases by may stop and stare

Your heavenly Father will hear you say
Honest words from your heart as you pray
Heavenly Father your kingdom come
Here in earth your will be done

You give us our daily bread
In your prayer these words are said
You have forgiven us our debts
We have forgiven those who beset

Lead us away from temptation
And protect us from the evil one
Forgiven are the sins against you
Forgiven those who've sinned against you too
