We Have A Continental Problem

We Have A Continental Problem

We have a continental problem
The whole world is lost in sin
It's beyond our wildest comprehension 
But it's as plain as day to Him
Sin is the culprit of our despair
For it's out to bring us down
But praise God for the Upperaker
Who wore a thorn-filled Crown

Satan thought he had smashing success
As Christ was lead to the Cross
And all of the Lord's words powerless
That He had proclaimed over us
But the Lord of Heaven and the Lord of earth
That mountain moving Man
Removed the insignificant stone
That seeked to hold Him in!

Now there's such glad proclamation
The Victory has been won
Death no longer our war monger
But praise God for Christ the Son
Now a continental breakfast
One of saving grace
Can be partaken of by repentant hearts...
Praise God for amazing grace!

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
