The Mourning News

The mourning news is always at hand
Wise if we read it and weep
For the Word of God has given sure expression 
That we all are definitely lost sheep
Every one of us has gone astray
We are feeding on the pastures of sin
But praise God there is a good Shepherd watching 
Seeking to lead us back home again

He knows the dimensions of our heart's 
How wide and how deep we have sinned
Yes still He covets to save our blest souls
Hallelujah for a love such as Him
To the Cross...to the Cross...praise God to the Cross
My Saviour paid my sin-debt complete
Gave me full forgiveness through His bountiful grace
Now that's a real outstanding feat!

The Mourning News should quicken our heart's 
And lead them to  conviction within
And stir us up to make swift true repentance 
In trusting the Forgiver of sin
Then the Good News will suddenly appear 
That He who has the Son shall be saved
Then death which was a terror to us many a year
Praise God Christ arose from the grave!!!

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
