Frank McEleny Poems

In my distress I cried to the Lord
And He heard me from heaven above
He saw the afflictions of my vexed soul
And came down in a river of love
...

I will lift up my eyes on high
And praise the God that I serve
He's an ever present help in time of need
He's the God that made heaven and earth
...

I will worship you in Spirit and Truth
My delight is to come to this place
The place where you dwell in your sanctuary
Where we lift up our eyes to thy Face
...

I lift my eyes unto my King
I lift my voice to you and sing
And all my heart to you I bring
O you who dwell in heaven
...

I am surrounded by troubled waters
They have come to flood my soul
And the open wounds upon my back
Begin to take a heavy toll
...

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And you shall never stand alone
Walk with Him in all your ways
He is our mighty cornerstone
...

Who steps down from the seat of glory?
Who comes down from the heavens above?
It's my Lord and my King who has heard my cry
Who flies to me on the wings of a dove
...

There is a tumultuous noise that beckons me
Voices and men and the world
They clamor for all my attention
Into this world I am so often hurled
...

O Lord your church goes through the motions
It travels many lands and crosses vast oceans
Yet what is a people with no King on the throne?
What is a man if he is all alone?
...

The sun arises in the morn
And so begins another day
And hope in me it is re-born
I come before my Lord and pray
...
