I Often Sit
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


I Often Sit

I often sit in solitude
And ponder where I am
So thankful that the Lord saved me
Praise God that great I Am
Lost in sin and loneliness
One time with such despair
Knowing not such hope there was
For God is everywhere

Praise God He drew me unto Himself
And led me finally to prayer
God I really believe that You do exist
Can You help me out here
There must be a better way of living God
Than I'm now accustomed too
If there is dear God can You help me out
I'll trust that prayer with You

Immediately God answered that prayer
And proved He did exist
I felt His presence by His Spirit
That I never felt before such as this
I knew then that God loved me so
And had heard my heartfelt cry
I arose from my knees with the assurance thereof
That He would lead me by and by

Friend if you're feeling emptiness
And don't know where to turn
There's a God above with a heart of love
Who for your soul is longing to yearn
If you will draw nigh to God
He will draw nigh to you
And lead you in...to a path of Salvation
And bless your life anew!

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
