When I Touched Base
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith

When I Touched Base

When I touched base with Jesus Christ
I found a sure Home run
For I was lost in the dugout of sin
My lowly spirit undone
But when I heard of Calvary
And Christ's coverage for my sin
I recognized that He gave His all for me
So now I give my all for Him

Now I'm in faith's ballpark
There's an audience in the stands
Watching every move that I make
To see if my faith still stands
So here I praise the Lord Jesus Christ
For He's got His hooks in me
And I'm grasped... praise God I'm grasped
By Him for eternity!

We're in a game of life
In the which our soul's are a stake
When its time for you to strike out
With what team will you relate
As for me I'm on the winning team
Praise God I'm sheltered in Christ's Ark
For when I repented of my sin
He knocked it out of the park!

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
