His Arms Are Wide Enough

HIS ARMS ARE WIDE ENOUGH FOR YOU


 


Need a friend to share your load of troubles


Need someone who will listen unto you


Then look today to Jesus Christ the Savior


His arms, are wide enough for you


Lean in tightly, a confidant ,none sweeter


With your cares the burden which He owns


He bore them all, all the way to Calvary


Rest assured He careth for His own


 


None so sweet, sweeter than the honey


Maker of the blessed honeycomb


He will make thy joy flow like a fountain


When you give your heart to Him a home


Come today the door is always open


While you breathe,there is hope in the Lord


Come today the Savior bids you enter


Trust in Him, the True and Living Word


 


There’s a mountain just beyond the valley


See the Son in splendor robes arrayed


His Righteousness, the Conqueror in Glory


Christ the Lord who’s risen from the grave


Hallelujah…………. to that Savior


Son of man and Son of God is He


He who takes the sinner’s debt upon Him


He is still the Mighty One to save

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
