Blinded by Satan

BLINDED BY SATAN

 

I once had eyes that could not see
And ears that could not hear
I was blinded by satan
To the gospel I did not adhere

 

But God came to my rescue
Though I perceived it not
He was making the providential changes
To bring me to salvation’s spot

 

A cottage with no power
But the power of the Holy Spirit
While reading through the Word of God
He drew me, drew me near it

 

My eyes were truly opened
My ears heard from His Word
Salvation is to humble yourself
And trust in Christ the Lord

 

In obedience to that command
I hastened to my knees
Confessed my sin to Almighty God
And felt forgiveness waves

 

Billows and billows waved over me
I was not saved by emotion
But by trusting in the Word of God
The Great Physician’s lotion

 

God had finally met my need
The need of every man
To receive true cleansing through the blood
That was shed, by God the Lamb

 

Righteousness exceeding that of

The scribes and Pharisees
Clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ
The sinners perfect plea

Up from the grave He arose

That hymn sure says it best
With a mighty triumphant o’er His foes

We are wondrously blessed

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
