I'm Not Leaving A Legacy

I'm Not Leaving A Legacy

I'm not leaving a legacy
Of material wealth or fame
But leaving a legacy of full fledged faith
Since I've trusted in Jesus name
I have an amount of answered prayer
That I treasure greatly
And I rehearse those precious prayers
I think the more so lately

Blest reminders of where I've been
And where I am today
It is a wondeful rrehearsal time
Those times when I did pray
I've had some glory Hallelujah's 
I've seen some lost soul's saved
A result of sharing the gospel message
Now they're victor's over the grave

My children know those stories
They've heard them time and again
I hope they catch the flame of faith
In Jesus name amen
And each one humble themself as a child
And learn the gift of prayer
With the remembrance of my walk of faith
In the legacy that I shared!

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
