Don't Let Bitterness

Don't Let Bitterness

Don't let bitterness be the barrier
To keep you from the Lord
Put off every root of it
It's a plant you can ill afford
Don't let it gain a foot hold
In your heart today
But give it over unto God
And pray...pray...pray

For Father God is faithful
When in Him you place your trust
To remove that very seed of bitterness
That has hindered you as such
Don't let Satan keep you
In the prison of bitterness
In Christ you can obtain freedom
And live your life to bless

Now's the time...today embrace it
Let all bitterness go!
Give each thought unto the Father
And let the blessings flow
With forgiveness as your mentor
Live your live with grace
Putting all bitterness behind you
And seeking the Master's face

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
