I Placed My Trust

I Placed My Trust

I Placed my trust in Jesus Christ
And O what faith it is
Dead was I in trespasses
Now I sing " He lives!"
For up from the grave He arose
Earth's finest Resurrection
Who takes a broken life and brings it
To our God's perfection

Sin has lost its charming ways
I saw it for what it was
Satan 's path to lure me from
Our great God's worthy cause
Now spectacles of faith permit
To focus on what's good
I praise God now for Calvary
And for the Brotherhood

Find your trust in Him my friend
Enjoy His riches sure
Such a treasure chest of faith
You'll never again be poor
In those mansions of glory
In Heaven is your home
Abide in Christ and He with you
You're never again alone!

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
