How Sad It Is
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

How Sad To See

How sad to see a soul miss out 
On God's amazing grace
When He can be found in His Word
Which to some they give no place
Imagine the living Word of God
Available now and free
Jampacked with the Word of Truth
But laid aside aimlessly

So many times we fill our lives
With things of non consequence 
And carry our troubles to the grave
Because we won't repent
Man is born with a stubborn will
Just ask me! That I know!
But when we surrender to the will of God
His blessings begin to flow

To bad we can't twist the arms
Of those who know not God
And make them read the bible daily
Until it is understood
Then what embracing would occur
When then find out the truth about sin
As well as of the divine revelation
That Lord Jesus died for them

I love I have a daily reference
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I can read some Psalms from the Bible
While it blesses me through and through
Praise God for His precious Word
O how sweet it is!
O that one would search today
And find Salvation's bliss!!!

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
