Candidates For Prevailing Prayer

Candidates for prevailing prayer
We need you in this hour
Praise God we serve the God of love
The God of unlimited power
May His resources be our strength
The remittance of mercy and grace
Place a burden for souls upon our heart's 
As we seek the Master's face

May the most valuable of my  valuables
Be Thy presence Lord in me
As I seek to lead some souls to Christ
That they might know eternity 
For in knowing You is the fulness of joy
The completeness of sins forgiven
Living now a life of wholeness
Now that is...really living!

So draw me to a bond of prayer
May I make a resolution 
That I will keep on keeping on
For prayer is the Lord's solution
For You have told us to keep on praying
For the fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much
Who else but those can change the tide
Than we who have felt the Master's touch...

So to your closet and me to mine
Find your presence near to God 
Be you sheltered by His glory
And the preservation of His Word
Then preach the Word...in season and out of season
The manifestation of our mission
Then going forth to reach our world
To the honoring of our Lord's commission...


Be a candidate for prevailing prayer!

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
