Frank McEleny Poems

The Lord our God, He lights our path
In the way that we must go
And the world is tossed by every wave
The wind it blows it to and fro
...

Another night's begun
But it's just one more setting sun
Maybe whiskey can unlock the door?
And maybe I can feel once more?
...

Sometimes it seems like I am permanently out of my depth
And situations often seem to be completely over my head
How good it is to fall back upon the Lord
Shut my eyes, take His hand and simply be led
...

One hundred years a thousand years
And still the rivers flow
I stand upon the bridge and look
Where does the water go?
...

He lived, He died, for me
He rose again to set me free
He lived He died for me
I'll reign with Him eternally
...

He took captivity captive
And He set His people free
He came to the lower reaches
Just for you and for me
...

I'm just lookin for some higher ground
But life keeps tryin to drag me down
When your walking with your face into the rain
Sometimes you wonder if you'll see the sun again
...

When the cliffs are to your back
And the tide is coming in
When the waters surely rising
And you know you cannot swim
...

You hung there on that cross
Bruised and battered and torn
You hung there for the Father's glory
Yet it was not for that alone
...

I know why I stand
I stand because of you
I can walk through burning fields
And fly in skies of blue
...
