Message To Self

Get back to God
Get back to Him while you can
Put your hand in the hand of a loving Father
Who will welcome you home again
Don't put off for tomorrow 
Just what you can do today
Get back to God my friend
And let Jesus show you the way

You must get down to get up
Humble yourself as a child
Receive by faith the gift of God
Come and be reconciled
Your sin has found you wandering
To pastures dry and lean
Come to have nourishment for your soul
Come to Christ's living stream

For there's a well of water
Springing up to everlasting life
Enough to fill you everyday
When you face the onslaughts of life
We all have a need for repentance
We all need a fresh start with God
Find yourself a quiet spot for praying
Then friend...get back to God!...

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
