Putting On The Risk

Putting On The Risk

There's a high cost to dying
It means the worth of your soul 
What in this world are you living for
That has you under its control
What is your value of God
Or have you put a value on Him
Are you living with His will in mind
Or just winging it on a whim?

These are questions deserving answering
For it's the all living determining factor
As to where you will spend your eternity
Or haven't you heard of the hereafter
For it's appointed unto men once to die
And then the judgement comes
But you can be alleviated from the fear of death
If you believe on Christ the Son!

The pleasures of sin are but for a season
May your season be soon to be changed
For if you would but get a true glimpse of the Saviour
Then surely your life would be rearranged
Hallelujah for the factor of grace
It's there for the asking of it
Or are you still to continue on in your sin
And continue putting on the risk...

O friend  today make your freedom
Repent and turn from your sin
May your conscience be moved to seek out the Lord
Then surely you'll find pleasure in Him
Wave your flag of surrendering
God can see it in sins wind
Enjoy the grace of a forgiven heart
May that place be where your risk will begin!


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
