I've Walked The Halls

I've Walked The Halls

I've walked the halls of loneliness
And found the corridors bleak
Nothing to cheer the heart in such
Continuing week after week
A loneliness felt like none other
With a heart separated from God
No light in that place was ever found
Until the window of His Word

The prayer I prayed in the corridor
Was inspired by the Spirit
Who knew the brokenness of my heart
And knew the way to cheer it
Divinely lead now in my way
Unknown was my destination
But sure enough by the Spirit's leading
I came to know Salvation

The corridors walls became much brighter
All my loneliness was gone
A brighter future now lay ahead
And in my heart there was a song
Hallelujah was an utterance learned
It came from a heart of joy
I knew I found the pearl of great price
Prized possession of Heaven's alloy

Now I never walk alone
I have a Friend beside me
Who has promised me in His Word
That he will always guide me
I've tasted and seen that He is good
I've found in Him graced favour
Never to walk again alone
For the Lord Jesus is my Saviour!

Hallelujah...what a Saviour!

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
