Frank McEleny Poems

From depths unreachable
To heights unattainable
You came from heaven to earth
With love unexplainable
...

How to keep your soul
From burning in the fire
Sometimes to walk this world
Is to wade through muck and mire
...

We are filled with the oil of gladness
It covers my brothers and I
For joy has overcome sadness
As the glory of God fills the sky
...

The Book of Life was opened
And a name was written down
All of heaven stood and gazed
Not a movement, not a sound
...

We dwell in thee Oh God
As the fish dwells in the sea
We find our place in you
As a lock is to a key
...

May you glorify your name O Lord
And may your glory cover the land
Let every idol fall from its place
And when your finished let none of them stand
...

May all the Peoples praise you
May all the world praise you
For great is your mercy and kindness
You dwell in the beauty of holiness
...

O give thanks to the Lord for He is good
And His mercy shall never end
When I cried to the Lord in my distress
I discovered a King and a friend
...

My life is like one blade of grass
That grows gently in the field
My heart is but a single grain
That the Lord my Savior healed
...

Hope and majesty surround you
You are covered by impenetrable light
You stretch out the heavens like a curtain
And you separate the day from the night
...
