Mysterious Ways

Mysterious Ways


 


God moves in mysterious ways


To give His children rest


Oftimes it is no accident


By accident we're blessed


 


Big question marks on this side


Especially if one died


But all revealed eventually


When we reach the other side


 


Much needed rest required


The Great Physician knows


From the numbered hair on each head


Down to our very toes


 


He's got it all together


To the umpteenth degree


After all He's the Creator


He's made eternity


 


So cheer up fellow believers


God knows just where your at


Though trials and testing befall us


It does not diminish the fact


 


That God is in His heaven


He's watching over us all


Not only we human beings


But the tiniest sparrows fall


 


Take joy and give Him praises


My God how great Thou art


No mystery to You


My life Your work of art


 


So rest in comfort brother


Receive His special grace


I'd rather be in the will of God


Than any other place


 


Thank You Lord for resting


You have said it's good


We often fail to remember this


As Thou has said we should


 


In hospital bed, home laden?


I'll praise Thee all my days


I'll leave the outcome up to Him


Who moves in mysterious ways.

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
