He Has Such Staying Power
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

He has such staying power
His presence has never changed
Yesterday...today...forever
Jesus is the same
What a Saviour to follow
What a Shepherd who leads
Want some spiritual food for thought
Our Saviour is happy to feed

Come and worship the King
Give praises unto His name
All that have accepted Him as Lord
Are never the same again
Heaven now home for saved sinners
Living as if I am there
Waiting for those blessed words
When I'll meet Him in the air

Sweeter are my days on earth
For Christ now liveth in me
Forgiven for my sins of past
I know what it means to be free
And in prayer I come as a sinner
Saved by the blood of the Lamb
And bring my petitions to the foot of the cross
To Jesus the great I Am

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
