How Wonderful To Experience

How Wonderful To Experience

How wonderful to experience
When our God orchestrates
When He moves and works  in the lives of men
Their ongoings and His stepping on of the brakes
He can bring to an abrupt halt
All the plans that we have outlaid
And change our circumstances one hundred percent
In the altering of the plans we have made

How blest to be living in the will of God
And to put our full trust in Him
And to have the relaxation of that thought
That encompasses all that we are within
For in His strength we find our own
What a blessed consolation
Praise God for His gifting unto us as such 
For it's part and parcel of our Salvation

I'm holding on to that certainty
That God holds on to me
And resting in that glorious thought
How He loves me so completely
And nothing happens in my life because of circumstance
But it has been preordained by my Heavenly Father
The God of Providence

And in the care of that great Physician
I'm resting in His Doctoring
And know the riches of His realm of Healing
Praise God He is my Everything
For He has such a soothing power
And by His Spirit He permeates
Hallelujah He's the One who does His work
While praise God I'm the one who awaits

When God shows up to do His stuff
He gives gives us the art of cultivation
For we remember continuously
That we know the author of our Salvation
And resting completely under the care
Of the One who watches over me
I can trust securely in those arms of love
For He gave of His life for me!!!

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
