Frank McEleny Poems

Were you there when Jesus bled
Before the cross, in sins were dead
By your hand in Christ were led
On to victory
...

You made the sun and the moon
And all this with Love
You put the stars in the heavens
And the clouds high above
...

I shall dwell in the secret place
And kneel before your throne of grace
I shall look upon your holy face
And abide in the shadow of the Almighty
...

Make a joyful noise oh lands
Do not dwell in sadness
Come before His presence
And serve the Lord with gladness
...

I will sing of Your mercy and judgement
To all the peoples of the land
Mercy and judgement are my solid foundation
It's the ground upon which I stand
...

Hear my cries to You oh Lord
Hide not thy face in the day of my trouble
For my days are consumed in the flames of life
And my works are but wood, hay and stubble
...

Out of the depths of my soul I have cried
Will you hear me O Lord is my plea?
Will you come to me quickly in my distress?
Will you come Lord and set me free?
...

You welcomed me with open arms
Protected me from many harms
I found in you a warm embrace
I would find this in no other place
...

He took on the form of a bondservant
And came in the likeness of man
Glory stepped down into darkness
And the fulfillment of God's holy plan
...

What shall separate us from the Love of God?
In Christ alone we stand
No power in hell nor darkest foe
Shall take us from His hand
...
