Amazing Lord

Amazing Lord

Amazing Lord how you built us
For what you intended us to do
To help us explore this world you made
And make our way on through
The blessing of a family
The joys with one another
The bonding together of moms and dads
And of sisters and of brothers...amazing Lord!

And life with all its ups and downs
Like a roller coaster ride
We're carried along with a wave of emotions
Some somber and some on the fun side
But we are never prepared emotionally
For that enemy called death
And sins captivating destructive power
Until our dying breath...amazing Lord!

Amazing Lord You came Yourself
To rescue us from our plight
You took old sin and the darkness of it
And Resurrectionly made it take flight
And guaranteed a forever forever
In the land that is fairer than day
And made our hope steadfast and endearing
Our Triumph! Our Victor! Our Stay!...amazing Lord!

So carry on in faith we do
For Your plans are so much higher
Our's to wait and watch and pray
And keep You as our Chiefest Desire
For Your shoulder's are strong enough
To lean on in our sorrow
For we know Who holds today...yesterday and tomorrow...amazing Lord!

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
