Most Of Us

Most of us have been lost in a physical sense
At one time or another
But there's a far deeper lost than that
It's to be spiritually lost my brother
How is it fairing with your soul
Do you know it's destination
Or are you just living day by day
Not really addressing that question

Have you come to know your Maker
In a personal relationship
Or are you thinking like most others
That wouldn't be really hip
Well check out all the gravestones friend
There will be a marker with your name
Here lies so and so and so
The list goes on with names

But guess what friend there's an Overcomer
Who defeated sin and death and Hell
And can give your soul such jubilation
I'd be remiss if I didn't tell
So seek the Lord while He may be found
Call upon that One Who can truly save
Look to the Lamb of God and believe
And be raptured one day from your grave!

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
