Faith Pleases God

Faith Pleases God

Faith pleases God 
For He's put His life on the line 
As the Sacrificial offering
For the Salvation of mankind
He gave His Word as a testimony
To the play by play effect
Of men and women who've  lived their lives 
For ordained as God's select

He took their lives as they were
The good along with the bad
And revealing their dependence on God
And the impact that faith had
Obedient to the Father’s will
In spite of firm opposition
Yet nothing could deter their faith
They held to faith's position

Faith still is the victory
It's a song that shall never end
For we know the all loving and all wise God
Who's every saved sinner's Friend
I believe His every Word
He has sealed it to my heart
And the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
Who shall never praise God depart!

Praise God for Calvary
Where the flag of faith was set
Where Lord Jesus although He died
Was soon to Resurrect
And hallelujah praise the Lord
It's still blowing in the wind
Catch a glimpse of faith's deliverance
And come repent of sin!

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
