I Harkened To The Voice Of God

I Hearkened To The Voice Of God

I hearkened to the voice of God 
When He said O sinner come
And I found a welcome there from Him
That hitherto to me was definitely unknown
All the details of my sin
He knew of them everyone
But yet when my ❤ was truly repentant
He forgave them of me...everyone!

No wonder I can sing hallelujah's 
For my heart's been cleansed of sin
There's power. .. power. .power in the blood
That has made it whole again 
Sin has lost its hold on me
For I'm now gripped by the grace of God
If and when I sin I immediately confess it
And have fellowship again with my Lord

Hearken to the voice of God my friend
Come O sinner come
There's a fountain of blessings there for you
There's plenty to go around  
There's enough for you and your family
Make your home a delight to the Lord
Bring Him your ❤ for a dose of reality
Then spread His Spiritual virus all around!

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
