You Have A Prayer

You Have A Prayer

When hopelessness comes upon you
To bring you renewed despair
Don't let it's tentacles ensnare you
For my friend you have a prayer
For there is a hope offering One
Who had His struggles too
In spite of the tremendous onslaughts He faced 
He was able to see them through

This world is not the be all and end all
For there's another world to come
One that is free from all sin and harm
Indwelt by the inhabitants of God's Kingdom
Maybe you're not aware of the fact
Of that three letter word called sin
How powerful it is to extinguish true hope
Hope that's only to be found in Him

But praise God for the blood of the Lamb
Through the which we can be cleansed
And offers up hope for eternity
When we become born again
So check out God's Word and see for yourself
Find value there that's.. extraordinare!
Come to the Lord all ye humble of heart
And remember that...you have a prayer!

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
