The Waiting Seasons
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

THE WAITING SEASONS
 
The waiting seasons with my Lord
He knoweth well my frame
He has His plan set out for me
I trust upon His name.
I wait O Lord I wait on Thee
In patience and in rest
I wonder why but then proclaim
"My God You knoweth best."
 
And in His will I seek to stay
For obedience He doth bless
Look to what these hands can do
To pass the Master's test.
He knows my heart its full intent
I seek to do His will
Remaining, steadfast in prayer
Peace my heart be still.
 
For You, O God delight to do
Above all I can think or ask
If I do live my life for You
And swiftly do Your task.
For not one small thing ever done
If it be done for Thee
Will but receive a reward in heaven
Each believers testimony.
 
God's Word shall not return unto Him void
His Word abides forever
Accomplishing what it was sent to do
He is the true life Giver.
O Word of God that quickened me
That brought me my salvation
O bless it Lord in these last days\
To reach each tribe and nation.

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
