The Lighthouse Is Still Standing

The Lighthouse Is Still Standing

The Lighthouse is still standing
Leading to that golden shore
Praise God that those who've found it
Shall live forevermore!
For Christ was lifted up
To lighten this world of sin
And if you want to be delivered from darkness
Behold Him!...Behold Him!

Sin has quite an appetite
It seeks to fill each day
And Satan as the father of lies
Uses it to our dismay
He coats it with a covering
That to some it's hard to tell
All the while with the full intent
To lead lost souls to Hell

O there's a battle raging
You might not see it with your eyes
But Satan is warring with the heavenly angels
Seeking for our demise
Praise God for the Lighthouse
Whose light cannot be diminished
Who's Words alone settled it all
When He cried out..."It is finished!"

Find your faith in a faithful God
In whose harbour is pure delight
Find settlement in the Haven of Rest
In the Lord Jesus Christ our Light
When sins storms toss you about
Remember there's always One near
He is the Lighthouse on the shore
Know Him and know no fear!!!

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
