It Takes A Man

It Takes A Man

It takes a man to have spirital thirst
Before he sees his need
For the things of earth can never satisfy
Wise to this it is to take heed
Pleasures of the world have a heavy cost
We know how it takes its toll
Payday to payday struggling
For what you thought would feed yoir soul

But there's a liberty to be had for the asking
The cost is absolutely free
For it was paid on your behalf by another
Praise God for Calvary
Look up my friend look up
There's life in the Crucified One
The Light of the world is Jesus Christ
God's only begotten Son

Don't you reckon it's time for your time
To make youself reconciled to God
Acquaint thyself with your Maker
Delve into the things of the Lord
Prayer can bring about wonderful changes
Try prayer for yourself and you'll see
The Father will swiftly meet your heart cry
And repentance will bring liberty!!!

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
