Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

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

It is written in the pages
like a letter to a friend
The first book of Genesis
to Revelations at the end

Prophets in the ancient world
foretold of the one
The lamb born to save
he's greater than the sum

Three years and twelve friends
his father's ministry shared the word
Praying and healing
heavens word unfurled

Jesus wept tears of blood
in the garden of Gethsemane
Tears that hit the ground
for sinners just like me

He is the one who came for the many
three years and twelve friends
He came to save the world
Jesus is the beginning not the end

It is written in the pages
like a letter to a friend
He promised to return
it's our beginning not our end

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.

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

The last word is the beginning
The revelation that starts it all
The images of His word
The things that have unfurled

The wicked are not so
The meek shall inherit the earth
Each nation and her children
Seek their spiritual worth

The enemy will meet his doom
In the lake of fire
The righteous will receive
The Heaven they desire

He is the Alpha and Omega
The one who's promise is to come
Blessed are those who praise Him
His love will become

The corner stone of the world
Heavens pearly gate
Many rooms in His mansion
We can pray and celebrate

Faith is like a mustard seed
It's frail and it's weak
Planted in his mission field
It's majesty we seek

The strongest in the garden
In its branches birds will nest
The truth and the light
Are the words we can attest

The wind blows across the lands
For thou art our heavenly father
We stumble and we fall
Grace saves our forever after

You walk with us in our day
You protect us by the night
Your words in the very sword
Are our truth and light

We pray for you to walk with us
We'll feel the spirit there
Your grace and love shines in us
For it's our growing faith to share

Amen and hallelujah
Faith is like a mustard seed
Growing ever stronger
In kind and in deed

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
