Help Me Lord

Help Me Lord

Help me Lord to not give in
To a mindset of my own making
But arrest my thoughts as they venture there
I need Your undertaking
For I am  weak at times my God
And my burdens I try to bear
When You have told me take each burden
To the Lord and leave them there

Help me seek Thy face each day
In the early morning hour
And when I do I know You are pleased
I want to know Your power
Praise God for Thy Holy Spirit
A Comforter indeed
For when I am at my darkest moment
Your grace supplies my need

Take an x-ray of my heart
Show me where I falter
Then bring me to that quiet place
Before Thee at Thy altar
And in praising recognition
For what You've done for me
Here I am again O Lord
Thank God for Calvary!

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
