The Wellness Of My Soul

The Wellness Of My Soul

The wellness of my soul has blessed
Me each and every day
For the biggest hindrance of it's worth
Was sin that had brought dismay
While I finally came to realize
Through the reading of God's Word
That things could be changed on the inside 
If Iput my trust in the Lord

And the Holy Spirit solidified 
That decision to my heart
By bearing witness to my spirit
That He would never depart
And now my internal Comforter
Who stamped me with God's seal
Helps to guide me on my way
As I seek to do God's will

How are you feeling on the inside
What degree of wellness has your soul
Has sin in your life blocked the blessings
Well!... Christ can make you whole
Don't let satan's deceptions
The lust of the world, the flesh, and pride
Remember he may come as an angel of light
But in reality he's the father of lies

Hey its early in the morning now
You can begin a brand new day
With an optomistic spirit of faith
I'm going to try things God's way
And prayer as your friend my friend
Take a fresh look in the Book
Christ's the answer to your soul's satisfaction
It will be the best decision you ever took!

Praise God for that wonderful Saviour
Who's chief delight for me
Is that I come to have fellowship with Him
The One who died for me
When that truth is realized
The fullness of God's love
For you His sacrificial offering
There's power in the blood

Now my soul has freedom
For there's a brand new me
For the one who Created this universe
Now definitely lives inside of me
What greater arms to rest in
I've found them so satisfying
Knowing the truth has made me free
And to that truth there's no denying!

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
