There's Days

There's Days

There's days I scarce can soak it in
Of the blessings that I've had
Savoring every memory thereof
Although at times it makes me sad
How that of God's amazing grace
That still sounds sweet to me
Especially of the awesomeness
Of my Father's abundant mercy

Surrounded by the love of God
I know the Master's touch
I know He loves me as one of His own
And He loves me very much
And when I dealt that day with sin
At the Cross of Calvary 
I knew such liberating power
As forgiveness set  me free

The Bible has an attachment
An attraction if you please
For in its pages an awareness revealed
That can bring us to our knees
For God in His great love for man
Procured the sinner's release 
Upon our faith in Jesus Christ
Comes assurance of Victory

Don't be one of the havenots 
Because you have not come
Settle it in your heart today
To secure a heavenly home
Earth is not our Paradise 
There's a roll call awaiting yonder
Our God is able to deliver you
Just capture that thought in wonder!

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
