Use God's Resources

Use God's Resources

Use God's resources wisely
Using every resource that God hath
Particularly since we're the recipients of
His greatest resource...called breath
For God breathed into man the breath of life
And Adam became a living soul
And every creature that God had made
He put it under Adam's control

Then there's the resource of praise
Giving back praises unto our God
For as God's Word makes it quite clear
Everything that God has given breath unto
Let it praise...let it praise the Lord
There's an attitude of gratitute 
Givien us right from the get go
A spirit of thanksgiving unto God
For how He has loved us so

With an early morning heart preparation 
We top off our praises with prayer
Asking the Father to guide us each day
In the pathway He's gone ahead to prepare
To give us discernment in decisions
Lord...what wilt Thou have me to do?
And await upon His mind in the matter
Before we then follow on through

Amen for the joy of Salvation
That's given to every repentant heart
For every soul that acknowledges his sin unto God
God delights to work in that heart
So guard your heart my brother
Keep it from languishing towards sin
Turn your eyes upon the Lord Jesus Christ
And walk in the light found in Him!!!

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
