Run Don't Walk

You might read this as a cautionary measure
In regards as to where I'm running to
But a heads up here in regards to spiritualness
Just don't think that any religion will do
Your soul has a value that's eternal
And a costly price at that my friend
For it took your Creator to become a human being
And then to die upon a cross for all men

In life we live mostly by trial and error
And affix our affections by that scale
Our standard of living usually will dictate
Our success at it or how often we have failed
Time and chance happens to us all
Our attitude of gratitude is supreme
Don't be a tire kicker when things don't go your way
As being your way of letting off some steam

True contentment is an internal matter
What outwardly you do won't bring the change
For the true peace that passes understanding
Can only be brought about by invisible means
Can I recommend the Spirit of accommodation
The Spirit of Christ as a liberating Friend
He will supply most abundantly
When you come to find Salvation in Him

Now let's skip from religion to relationship
What religion went to the Cross for you
It wasn't an organizational facility
But the Son of Man hanging there for you
Your sin definetly needs an abandonment
Turn to the One who walks the talk
Repent of your sin be willing to turn to Him
And might I add...Run! Don't walk!

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
