Live In The Light

Live In The Light

Live in the light of His coming
With that expectant hope as our stay
When trials and testings come calling
They will not determine our day
For He is our peace and our joy
In His Salvation we're satisfied
A witness to those who know not our God
A reality that cannot be denied

An unwavering faith in the Master
For we know in Whom we've believed
We have believed the Word of the Lord
And eternal life have received
The Holy Spirit as Witness
What more trusted Witness than that
Who lives within twenty four seven
This is a "born again" fact

We have the ingredients for living
A life now with victory over sin
By faith we can be overcomers
For we've placed our trust in Him
Praise God for the word "repentance "
To learn of the error of our way
To see our sin as heinous to God
And move us to learn to pray

What a difference from darkness to light
The difference between night and day
Once we were on the broad road to Hell
Now living with Christ Who's the Way
And having God as my heavenly Father
Who makes all my fears take to flight
My challenge to you if you know Him not yet
May you seek to live in the Light!

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
