I Take The Scriptures Seriously

I Take The Scriptures Seriously

I take the scriptures seriously
They are my meat and drink
They help me live victoriously
They direct the way I think
My stability rests upon them
There is nothing more secure
Heaven and earth will pass away
The scriptures will forever endure

In the light of the Word
Our sin is recognized
We see Satan for who he is
Despite of his disguise
Trying to be an angel of light
He the father of darknesses domain
Praise God for the Lord Jesus Christ
Who death itself overcame

And now our Overcomer
Declares by the written Word
Whomsoever believes on Christ
Of Salvation he is assured
Yes praise God for the scriptures
The eyegate to faith revealed
Truth expressed by the Spirit of God
That each believer is sealed

Stamped with God's approval
We've repented of our sin
Now absolutely forgiven...Hallelujah!
With true joy found in Him
The scriptures yet are living
For the Author is our Lord
I trust you'll take them seriously
And come to know your God!

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
