I THANK YOU

I thank You that I learned to trust
In You Lord and Your Word
That the Holy Spirit came
Bore witness and assured
That I had become Your child
When I was " born again "
You blessed my repentant heart
And gladly took me in

When I by faith believed
You came to me in grace
And manifested joy within
And peace took up a place
A new creation was I in Christ
Lord Jesus He became
In submission I gave my life
To praise Your Holy name

Place that burden once again
Afresh upon my heart
For the souls of dying men
Let me do my part
To share that blessed gospel message
That Lord Jesus saves
And gives a sinner sainthood
The moment he believes

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
