You're Going To Have Some Questions

You're Going To Have Some Questions

You're going to have some questions
It's an inevitability
Why am I here?...where am I going
What's this thought of eternity?
So many funeral processions
There's always a line up for death
We know them in their aliveness
Then the reality of their final breath

But praise God for the sign posts
That are revealed in His Word
Through Jesus Christ the most alivest
Whose name is still constantly heard
And reverent in the manner
Of His earthly conversation
His main goal our recipiency 
Of His blest eternal Salvation

Who brought sin to exposure
From the darkness into the light
Along with the full disclosure of
Of our eternal impending plight
Think you're just a body
To disintegrate into dust
And rot forever in the ground
God has better plans for us

Think of the word Resurrection 
Is there anyone you can attach that name too
Then place your thoughts higher my friend
For there's a Heaven awaiting for you
Think of a Book called the Bible
Have you checked out the treasures found there
It's famed Author and Finisher of faith
Is the One to you whom I declare

I know my Redeemer lives...He lives!
He lives inside me each day
His Spirit sealing my Resurrection hope
When death comes visiting me
For from the Cross of Calvary
To a tomb where my Saviour was laid
I placed my faith in that Resurrection story
When Christ Himself rose from the grave

Cloth yourself with His cloak of love
And wrap your heart around Him
Be caught up with His merciful ways
Feel His grace surrounding
There's life in a look at the Crucified one
No matter your sins greatest folly
He stands willing and ready to forgive
His promises are never hollow

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
