One Thief
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


One Thief

One thief on the cross had time to think
And meditate upon his condition
It lead to true repentance there
An honest broken hearted contrition
He could not take it any longer
As the other thief railed on
And finally spoke up as to what he believed
About Jesus Christ God's Son

He knew he deserved to be there
For the sins that he had done
And that the Lord was not deserving of
Any charges against Him... Not a one!
So he asked the Lord to remember him
When His kingdom would come
And received the offer of paradise
Through Jesus Christ God's Son

His destination changed as such
And death no longer a dismay
For in the Lords Resurrection power
He'd be in glory that day
Such a relief in that hour
To know forgiveness for sin
And that change can happen immediately
When we put our trust in Him

Which thief are you in your life
You've robbed God of His glory
And substituted in His place
Your own believing story
Embrace the cross, the cross
The cross of Jesus Christ
And receive yourself the gift of God
For He paid your ransom price

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
