Operating In Faith

Operating In Faith

Operating in faith surrounded by grace
I've watched it put into action
Living life... oftimes on the edge 
With the joy of the Lord as satisfaction
Stories to tell of answered prayer
A just cause for others rejoicing
A new motivation in their hearts as well
That the gospel they too must be voicing

The fastest way to rally the troops
Is to tell the stories of victory
The flag of faith raised by all
Because of the work of Calvary
And love abounding in degrees
Going the extra mile
Changes saints from despondency
To break out in a smile

Going forward with the Lord
With each new day's arrival
Walking in  the Spirit of God
Determines our faith's survival
And aftermaths of blessings tales
Increase our faith more and more
Some of our hope's now realized
People serving as never before!

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
