Amen For New Beginnings

Amen for new beginnings
Starting afresh with a clean slate 
All the past, forgotten and forgiven 
Now with grace from the mercy seat
Christ our sin offering,.offering pardon
He as our Light living within
Blessing of... a bright haven for tomorrow 
The result of being "born again!

This past year was definetly trying
As we sustained a significant loss
But God again was our sure refuge
His grace available through the Cross
And though grief came in floods at times
His joy maintained us as our strength
With that blessed hope "we'll meet again"
We've coveted that precious thought at length

Amen for new beginnings 
Christ is our provision for sin
He can change the vilest of hearts
And give it new thoughts within 
By the miraculous work of the Spirit
He takes up His residence
Now living inside He can rule and can guide
Praise God for the fruit of repentance!

Amen for new beginnings 
Make your new beginning today
Make a commitment to change
And let Christ rearrange 
For He is the Life, Truth, the Way
May His love become your provider
Bask in the love of God
Give Him full surrender it will be a day to remember
And proof that God honors His Word!

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
