Facing Trials

Facing Trials 

 

When in a vise grip of problems

And another one's about to take place

Remember God's Word is your anchor

Sufficient for you is My Grace

 

Some have been chosen for glory

Glory to God not to us

To show to the world there's a difference

To those who are saved by the cross

 

When in our weakness we find strength

He is our Helper indeed

He never lets trials befall us

That He hasn't prepared for the need

 

So take heart my brother, my sister

God stands by us ready to do

All that's required for that moment

To carry us all the way through

 

No half-hearted adventure in warring

As Satan attempts to defeat

But rising with faith filled devotion

We come to the Mercy Seat

 

There boldly declaring with praises

Father I thank Thee again

Thou hast brought Victory through Jesus

I thank Thee in His name, Amen.

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
