Wow! 

Hallelujah for an optimistic faith

That doesn't take things for granted

But has it's hope in that wonderful Saviour

Who's feet one day on earth were planted

Who knew the wars that would come our way

To render us a lesson

We'd better get ready for the judgement day

And to Him begin our sins confessing

 

In a divine work of Providence

We're blessed with freedom's rights

Thanks to the men who fought for us

In the darkest of days and of nights

And persevered by the grace of God

So we could proclaim our liberty

The veterans of war our reminders of

Those planting of the poppy seeds

 

Remembrance Day glad proclamation

We've won... the war is over

Freedom still reigns in the hearts of men

Because of the work of our soldiers

A moment of silence...thank you men!

And thank you God Almighty!

Wow! I'm glad I'm a recipient of peace!

And I don't take that thought too lightly!

 

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
