I Have a Friend in Jesus

I have a Friend in Jesus

I have a Friend in Jesus
Who watches over me
Not just for a moment in each day
But watching me constantly

And O how faithful His blessings
When I submit to His will
Removed from the busyness of the day
And when my heart is still

I know He is with me He loves me
In spite of each circumstance
All things are working for my good
My life is not perchance

And waves of mercy I'm feeling
I know His gift of pure grace
And from my sin I'm delivered
And seeking my Master's face

O treasure in earthen vessel
Just clay in the potter's hand
I submit my life unto you Lord
And in your blest will...I will stand!

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
