The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple...Psalm 119:130

Praise God For The Importance 

Praise God for the importance of the Word of God
For it's a real eye opener
For when we allow its light into our presence
It will provide the thing that we' ve hoped for
And when the truth shines forth into our hearts
And the darkness has to take leave
It will gradually dawn upon our souls the thought
Hallelujah what a joy to believe...

I received my truth in increments
When I read it line upon line
Precept upon precept there as well
My here a little and there a little time
And gradually my understanding of it
Became as clear as clear as could be
And I found the Word transforming my life
And became the motion that set me free

Never discount the truth of it
For the way of the Cross leads Home
The all suffiency of Christ our Saviour
Gives forth that truth from God's Throne
And high and holy and lifted up
Was the Son of Man to die
And the revelation of the truth of it
It shall never be denied

This world that is lost in the darÄ·ness of sin
Has a hope and its eternally secured
Anchored fast by a believing faith
That is found alone in God's Word
Praise God for the Alpha and the Omega
The beginning and the end
And Christ our Lord as our Advocate
And as our never failing Friend

My treasure it laid up in Heaven
It's my eternal inheritance
For when I believed by grace through faith
On that glad day of my repentance
Then the light of God's Word shone into my soul
And His forgiveness became His gift for me
Such a wonderful celebration and my heart was filled with elation
Praise God for my Salvation's Jubilee!!!

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
