It's Not Going To Happen Overnight

It's Not Going To Happen Overnight 

It's not going to happen overnight
It's going to take sometime
For you to read God's Word
And to understand its theme
For sin is our great detriment 
It strives to undermine
Everything that we hold dear
And the realization of our limited time

For it is appointed unto men once to die
Then it's the judgement day
If any man has not believed on Christ
Condemnation is your stay
For there is now no condemnation 
To them who have believed
Who've accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour
And the Holy Spirit received

A head knowledge is not enough
It has to reach the heart
There must be a conviction of your sin
Before the Lord can do His part
With outstretched arms He'll welcome you
Repentance is your fare
Just call upon the name of the Lord today...
And hallelujah He'll meet you there!

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
