When Faith Takes Hold

When Faith Takes Hold

When faith takes hold
It brings to fruition
A taste of blessings
Hitherto unknown
And God's well pleased
When we trust Him
And give our heart's 
To Him a home

That application of His Word
To our heart's and mind each day
Helps us in our daily walk
To be obedient to His will and  way
True rejoicing in that Saviour 
A constant expression of His love
I can walk with unparalleled hope
One day I'll live with Him above

My faith has found its resting place
Directed there by God's Holy Word
If He could speak this world into being
Then wise am I to have heard
There's a Saviour who loves us dearly
And  on Calvary shed His blood
Who gives us faith by His Holy Spirit
To search the scriptures and find Him God!

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
