I Thank You Lord That You See Darkness

I thank you Lord that You see darkness
Just as well as You see the light
And there's nothing that escapes Your heavenly gaze
For Your are the Judge of right
There will be full accountability
On that great reckoning day
When every man will give a full account
Of his sin's accumulation way

How we love to sugarcoat it
And diminish  the fact of sin
Having habitually succumbed to its practices
Until it's a numbing within
But O for the wake-up call
When sin has produced its destructiion
And you've finally come to your senses
And are ready for God's instuction!

What a glorious day that is
When sin has its disclosing 
And an honest repentant heart
Finds its moorings loosening
Standing on God's promises
Kneeling now in prayer
God be merciful to me a sinner
The sincere words uttered there!

Come journey to the Cross today
Make it your sure destination
For the gift of God is eternal life
What a wonderfull...wonderfull Salvation!
Have you heard about forgiveness 
It's God's word of intervention
If you repent today my friend
Jesus Christ will step in
And give you sin's prevention!

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
