My Faith

My Faith

My faith holds on to me
And wraps me in its arms
Surrounded by the grace of God
Protected from all harm
For God is with me everywhere 
And He's promised not to depart
I know the joy of His very presence
For He's living in my heart

Each day is now a thankful one
For I'm consumed with Him
Miraculous how He can change a heart
And bring such peace within
And place a new song there as well
I'm singing praises unto God
All because I believed His Word
And repentance understood

O that Christ of Calvary
That shed His precious blood
To pay the ransom for my sin
That I might be reconciled to God
And put some glory in this soul
That it had never known before
That I might give back to my Maker
Praises forevermore

O there's a Hallelujah waiting
For your soul to employ
Once you understand you're a sinner
And seek the Saviour's joy
Not only our bright hope for tomorrow 
But praise God our hope for today
Come establish yourself in His faith
And live for the Lord each day!

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
