Why Am I Here?

WHY AM I HERE?

 

 

There are artificial pleasures in the world today

And that’s a reality

Men seeking and striving to find peace of mind

But all turns to futility.

It’s not in man to direct his steps

The Bible has made it plain

So try as he will to find joy in this world

It all will be in vain.

God Who has made man, and loves him so

Has given this guarantee

Repent of your sin and trust in My Son

And I will set you free.

So if you are struggling with, "Why am I here?"

And, "What’s life about anyway?"

Call upon God, Friend, He’s always near

He’ll bring you to trust in The Way.

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
