When Faith Began
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


When Faith Began

When faith began to permeate
And find its residence
It found a settlement within
That wasn't happenstance 
But line upon line and precept upon precept
As I obeyed God's Word
His Spirit brought it home to me
The Salvation of which I'm  assured 

I rest upon the promises
Of He who's True and Faithful
Noting He will keep His Word
His Resurrection stands still!
Because He lives I shall live
My home is up in glory
What  blessing to share with the world
That wonderful Salvation story

Jesus saves! Jesus Saves!
Glad be our proclamation
Only one name under heaven is given
To provide a so great Salvation
Whereas sin bequeathed a sentence of death
And sought to bring us loss
Upon repentance and belief the transformation begins
Hallelujah for the Cross!

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
