Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

Keep your eyes on me child
Reach out for my hand
Take steps in great faith
Follow my footsteps in the sand

I'm with you every step
The road ahead with steps to tread
Winding and narrow is the way
Keep your eyes on me, be spirit  lead

Keep your eyes on me child
I'll pick you up when you fall
You are mine
You've heard me call

You are stonger with my love
Child walk with me across the sands
I'm always with you
Follow my footsteps in the sands

The things we long for
Wonders of what's to come
More than imagined
We are more than the sum

Of parts and the scenes
Memories we play
What's been and gone
The prayers that we've prayed

Pathways lay ahead
Steps we must take
God has great plans for us
Fear no debate

More than just moments
Deeper than imagined
Snippets of passing time
A faithful life awakened

Painted skies in sunlight
The promise of the new
Breathe deeply in the love
It’s the plan he has for you

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

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

THe lion and the lamb
Jesus is the great I Am
Mary gazed into his face
Her infant son would take his place

Hallelujah the angels sing
Born this night our sovereign king
Worship him on bended knee
This princely babe has come to be

The Messiah, King of all mankind
He'll save the sick, the lame , the blind
So richly blessed are all believers
His truth and light shall shine  on all receivers

The ancient ones foretold of his birth
He'd richly bless with all his worth
The years he'd walk amongst all men
His message lives in us and when

Raised voices sing and proclaim
The sovereignty of His Holy name
The light He shines across the skies
Richly blessed, in HIs name Baptise

Born the innocent one he lay
We celebrate Christmas Day
The gift of that very first morn
We worship the very first born

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

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

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.

It's a feeling
That brings certainty
It's the knowing
For all eternity

It's not held in the human hand
Nor seen with the human eye
It's a deeper knowing
Like a rainbow in the sky

Like a mustard seed
Our faith grows in Him
Sung unto the Lord
In a lovely hymn

A tiny mustard seed
Nurtured by love and grace
Looking deeper for the Lord
Seeking His perfect face

Faith in every day
In every living breath
Lasting your lifetime
Until your earthy death

Pray man's faithfulness
Shines the glory of God
Our reward lays beyond
Earthly steps to be trod

Take a hand
Hold it near
Wipe away
The things we fear

Gently say
The whispered prayer
Caress the tear-streaked face
And gently care

A gentle touch
A promise to keep
Lay your head
Your soul to keep

Close your eyes
Seek his face
Waiting in heaven
For his embrace

The kindness
In a hand to touch
A moment in time
That means so much

Be the one
To say goodbye
Safe journey dear
In the heavenly sky
