I Pray for Loss of Appetite

I PRAY FOR LOSS OF APPETITE 


 


I pray for loss of appetite 


From the things of this old world


I dont want to be Your enemy


And have Your wrath unfurled 


But close to Thee Lord..close to Thee


To walk with circumspect 


And seek to do the Father's will


To have our Lord's respect


 


No longer can this soul that's saved


Enjoy sin's servanthood


For we who are in Christ Jesus


Should aim for that which is good


That Rock of Ages cleft for me


And Mighty Fortress are You God


You came to bring me Life Eternal


As written in Your Word


 


You arose..You arose..You arose..You arose


Our living Lord indeed


Death could not hold You as a captive


You free those in captivity


Fresh bloodstains..ever flowing


Cleansing still from sin


Seek ye the Lord while He may be found


Today...put your trust in Him!

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
