My Chief Investment

 

My Chief investment is God

I want to know Him more

To spend my time more wisely

For it's He that I"m living for

Though burdens come upon me

I take them everyone

And cover them with lots of prayer

Until the unraveling is done

 

And prayer and praise intermittently

Calm every fear within

And when I'm faced once more with burdens

That process begins again

So I"m often with my Father

In times of such duress

I know this is His will for me

It's my contemplativeness

 

Thank you heavenly Father

For I know I am your son

I've placed my trust in Jesus Christ

And my faith journey has begun

What You have undertaken

To bring to me such delight

Your investment for my well being

Has brought me into the Light

 

What grand and glorious redemption

In the provision of your Son

Who shed His blood on Calvary

Providing Salvation for each one

Who truly repents and receives Him

Shall know the love of God

And be transformed internally

With a heart to do men good!

 

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
