MINISTRY OF HYMNS

 

Thank You Lord for the many times
That You spoke to me through hymns
They were used along with the Word
To draw me closer in
Your Spirit seemed to permeate
And when all was said and sung
I rededicated my life anew
Another victory won!

If no one else was in that place
You knew what had transpired
You took me from my lowly place
And raised my spirit higher
You caused me once again to see
My hopeless situation
Without You Lord, where would I be?
Thanks for, So Great Salvation

Now I'm singing a new song
Been writing them as well
Daily I've cause to celebrate
Jesus doeth all things well
What praise You put within the heart
That's been delivered from sin
The glory and the wonder of
The Ministry of Hymns!

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
