There's A Tsunami
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


There's A Tsunami

There's a tsunami wave of emotions
That comes over our hearts at death
The would a...could a..should a's
While they had their living breath
And all the things that might have been
If only we could have been there
We have to take them to the Lord
And consign ourselves to prayer

Prayer can never bring them back
But it's a solace in our distress
We take that burden to the Lord
And worship in quietness
For there is not a deeper hurt
Than to lose a blessed loved one
God knowing that very hurt Himself
In the death of His own dear Son

But the grave it is our Victory
And death is just a word
It holds us captive temporarily
But then God's voice is heard
Lazarus come forth!
And come forth Lazarus did
And we too shall arise one day
Praise God our Resurrection did!

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
