Praise God For Conviction

Praise God For Conviction

Praise God for conviction
For the moving of the Spirit
In the heart of those reading  God's Word
Who never before had heard it
With the help of the faith factor
"God I believe You exist...
And if there's truth to this gospel story
Make it something I wouldn't want to miss"

May conviction lead to conversion
And the darkness be turned into light
And a heart aflame for the souls of men
Become our sure delight
Where prayer becomes simple as breathing
Our covering graced by God
With a pure desire to do His will
Though often being misunderstood

And aligning ourselves with the written Word
And with Lord what will Thou have me do
And stepping out of our comfort zone
To unselfishly live for you
I cannot serve two masters
And Lord You are Lord of all
I praise God for conviction
It became my deliverance from Hell!

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
