Nestled in Grace

NESTLED IN GRACE
 
Nestled in grace I'm abiding
In the wonderful  love of the Lord
In silent meditation
Thinking upon His Word
Sufficient for me is that labour
Though I deem it not so
Soothed there by the balm of Gilead
Letting His graces flow.
 
Grace upon grace I receive it
Along with His billows of love
When sin was surmounting its forces
God blew them away with His Love
What love that grace revealed 
Brought me by faith to believe
Nestled in grace I'm abiding
The grace which from Him I receive.
 
Nestled in grace I'm abiding
The joy of the Lord in my heart
Knowing with such assertion
That He will never depart
Now seeing through the glass darkly
But then seeing Him face to face
Enjoying being blest in His Presence
Nestled here in His Grace.

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
