Your Conversion
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


Is your conversion
Fiction or fact?
The life you live,
Will surely prove that!

If there’s been no change,
Then you’ll surely agree,
The Spirit of God,
Dwelleth not in Thee!

A hatred of sin,
A love for His Word,
A walk and a talk,
Showing Jesus as Lord!

A zeal for living,
A life for His glory,
This is conversion,
This is His story!

Salvation in Him,
Not a church or a creed
Not baptism, confirmation,
Or doing good deeds!

Just a look at the Cross,
What He did there!
Just a trust in the One,
Who our sins did bare!

A belief that His death,
And His rising again,
Gives new life to me,
That’s, Born Again!

So sinner I trust that,
This moment you see;
Jesus Christ gives new life!
Would you take it for Thee?

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
