Repentance Takes Work
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Repentance Takes Work

Repentance takes work
It takes a work to will
To turn from sin unto God
While you are able to still
What's keeping you from that act
Has the devil got you in chains 
Christ can break the shackles of sin
And make you whole again

We are creatures of habit
We fall into the same old rut
But the grace of God can rescue you
Where everything else you've tried won't 
Prayer is still available
God's at the ready to aid
Call upon Him today my friend
It'll be the best plan you could ever have made

Grace...grace...wonderful grace
Can be partaken from the Saviour's cup
He shed His blood to take care of your sin
Come to His table and sup
Turn ye ..turn ye...why will you die
Without hope and a plateful of sin
Come to the Saviour today and be blessed
Repent and put faith in Him!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

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
