I Dare You

I Dare You

I dare you to be different
And take God at His Word
Check out His Holy Bible
Begin to read His Word
See if you can prove to me
That what I believe is wrong
Come take up the challenge
If you think that you are strong

It will take some effort
I'll tell you that right now
It is not a feeble undertaking
And that I know right well
Begin there in the gospels
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Then onto the Book of Acts
Unto you reach Revalation

Give them thoughtful consideration
The words there you will find
Make your heart ready for changing
It happens everytime
For God's Word is like a sword
It will cut you to the quick
Discerning each thought and intent of your heart
The Spirit sees to it!

Well are you up for it
Are you going to take it on
Then turn in your Bible to the gospel of Matthew
And let your reading begin
Praise God for your acceptance
I trust you'll follow through
Or do I have to repeat again
"I dare you!

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
