Lord Give Me The Faith To Believe

Lord Give Me The Faith To Believe

Lord give me the faith to believe
And to trust in You each day
To wrap my heart around Your Word
And to let You lead the way
Make mine a will to obedience
And to be faithful to each task
If there's anything Lord that You wish me to do
You have but only to ask

Salvation brought me thankfulness
And filled my heart with praise
Forgiveness brought a touch of grace
I knew of sins erased
And Christ became my new found joy
The Hope for sinner's slain
And offers up eternal life
When we become born again

There's satisfaction in that One
Who shed His blood for sin
And offers back an abundant life
To those who trust in Him
Does Jesus care?...O yes He does!
Much more than you'll ever know
Until you place your trust in Him
The true Lover of your soul!

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
