Stay My Heart

Stay My Heart

Stay my heart in adoration
Of the loving Son
Rejoice in that so great Salvation
Where Christ's victory was won
Where through the shedding of His blood
My sins were dealt with sure
From every stain of them I carried
He cleansed and made me pure

Now I'm living by His Spirit
His Spirit lives in me
Upon repentance and my confession
I've tasted of liberty
Of all the body members we have
Two of it's most important parts
The tongue that confesses Christ as Saviour
And the belief found in our heart's

Stay my heart stay fixed upon Him
Rest in that solitude
No other one in earth or Heaven
Could do me so much good
To have a name so honored daily
Because Lord Jesus lives
Show me another with such compassion
As our dear Saviour gives

The blight of sin is all around us
Earth's greatest pestilence
Without belief upon that Saviour
My friend you don't have a chance
Time is of the essence here
It means your eternal " real estate"
Where are you prepared to send your soul
Decide for Christ before it's to late!

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
