More Alive

More alive than he ever has been
Is Ravi Zacharias today
These are the words from his very own daughter
Shared on facebook today
What a testimony for a man of God
Who was faithful unto the end
One who demonstrated by life in his walk
That he knew the Lord Jesus as Friend

Who took to heart the heart of the matter
If Christ lives we shall live also
Where He leads us we will go
And where He went we will soon follow
In his ministry of the Word
Poetic in some form or other
Ravi had a passion for soul's 
It surely shone through him my brother

I've been blessed many a time
After I've heard Ravi preach
God endowed him with a way with words
And an apt ability to teach
With a humbleness of admirable strength
That held him fast like glue
He paved the way for apologetics 
To bring the truth on through

There's disappointment in faith's world
As another one bits the dust
But faith's victory far exceeds
By the hand of the Master's touch
Well done though good and faithful servant
You were obedient to the end
Now your final reward is realized
Meeting face to face with your Friend....

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
