I Hear the Birds
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

I HEAR THE BIRDS


 


I hear the birds a chirping


In the early morning hour


Sense the presence of happiness


Awakening to God's power


Choruses of feathered friends 


At the beginning of each day


Who knows but they are worshipping Him


Who is the Truth....the Way


 


Nestled on their branches


Or flying through the air


Each song of significance 


Is permeated there


That sparrow when it's fallen


His eye is on that bird


God who is Omnipresent 


Is as well the Living Word


 


Here the song of Salvation


Everyone just come!


Drink at the fountain of Living Water


There's enough for everyone! 


Then your heart will be merry


You'll dance, and shout, and sing


As the birds begin their morning


You'll rejoice in everything 


 


Pure praises to the Master


Who calms the nastiest sea


Who takes great pleasure in delivering 


And soul's from sin sets free


Who puts a new song in the heart


That asks that Saviour in


Why not start your rejoicing today


By putting your trust in Him!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
