An Instant Inspiration

An Instant Inspiration

An Instant Inspiration
Flows from the hearts of men
Who find upon their repentance day
The love of God for them
And praises ring with gratitude
For the offering of the Son
In His blessings through His mercy and grace
For the forgiveness of our sin

My darkness turned into light praise God
I was in a new kingdom now
And Christ became the Light of my world
It seemed impossible
But the Holy Spirit ratified
The fact of my decision 
And gave me immediate affirmation
That my soul was fit for Heaven

Talk about a hallelujah chorus
Mine was sure echoing 
I had never felt such a joy before
And my heart began to sing
For to be saved and to know it...hallelujah!
And to be freed from sins condemnation
I could not help but take up my pen and some paper
For I was moved by an instant inspiration!

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
