David Had His Faith
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

David Had His Faith

David had his faith in God
In the youthfulness of his day
And found it an ever present help
When problems came his way
He slew a lion and a bear
No small achievement then
Showing his strength in the power of God
In whom he knew as a Friend

His heart was thankful continually
God was preparing this lad
To be a leader and a King
The best King Israel ever had
He even forgave his enemies
Not a small task to do
But when your heart is write with God
His blessings will follow you

Was but but a lad
That came to the battle that day
Built up by a faith in God
Who was David's main Stay
When Goliath looked with disgust
And mocked him to the ten
He didn't have the slightest clue
How swift his demeaning would end

One small stone in a sling
That God had marked for destination
Honoring the faith of David's faith
And sealing Goliath's damnation
Hallelujah for a heart like David's 
Would that all ours would be the same
And we'd go forth as conquerors 
Praising God in Jesus's name!

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
