Good Day Canada

Good day Canada
Happy birthday again to you
Quite a few things on your plate
With covid still in view
The workplace landscape iffy
Companies reeling from distress
The compensation packages tendered
A handout for relief of stress

A temporary financial relief
Still with the reality of it all in view
A long term settlement of grief
While the fallout is attended too
But our God is still in control
Though men may not acknowledge it as such
He above all is still superintending
For He loves us so very much

It could be His leading to give us
A spiritual perspective on life
In the midst of it all He's our only hope
He alone can deliver us from strife
Remember it's appointed unto men once to die
There's no escaping that fact
Whether by old age...accidental...or disease
We'll succumb to one of those acts

So how is your soul my brother
Are you trusting solely in Him
Or are you agonizing over what the future holds
When He holds the future in His hands
Dear Lord make Canada repentant
In regards to their acknowledgement of sin
For if only men would see that their deepest need is Christ
It would most definitely be a win win!

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
