Welcome To My Book Club

Welcome to my book Club
I've signed you up today
We're going to read a chapter of the Bible
And then we're going to pray
Right now you're just imaginary
But you can become reality
Lets begin in the new testament
Come read along with me

The gospel of John my favourite 
Showing that Christ is God
How the Creator became our Saviour 
How that all He did was good
How His love for mankind took Him
To a Cross at Calvary
Where He shed His blood for our sins
To offer us a life of true liberty

I'm focused in my reading
To think as I go along
Capturing every word that this chapter says
For I don't want to get it wrong
And meditate as my mind embraces
The beginning of the work of God
With a prayer dear Lord help me  understand
For You've recorded this for my good...

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
