I'm Gonna Believe Someday

I'm Gonna Believe Someday

 

I'm gonna believe someday

Was the response of the little lad

After hearing the gospel preached

And feeling a little sad

 

Years had passed so swiftly

Almost unbelievable it seemed

Now that little lad

Had grown into a teen

 

I'm gonna believe someday

Said the teenager now

But I've got my own agenda

I'll get around to it somehow

 

I'm still young you know

So I'll have lots of time

And like I've told you before

I'm gonna do it sometime

 

Years passed by so swiftly

How well we know it can

Now the lad and teenager

Has finally become a man

 

I'm gonna believe someday

In that story told

But I have a few more years

Before I feel I'm old

 

It's still on my agenda

Before from earth I pass

To believe that gospel message

But I'll leave it until last

 

Death came knocking early

On gonna believe Someday's door

It took him from his ease on earth

To the portals of hell's shore

 

Now it's fire and brimstone

Gnashing of the teeth

Now it's forever torment

To someday I'll believe

 

Satan as that lion

Seeks whom he may devour

Believe on Jesus Christ today

Don't be doomed like Someday's hour!

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
