GOD HONORS FAITH

 

God honors faith that's fixed on Him


And sets our sights a soaring


He gives us grace for daily living


So not ----one day is boring


 

Prayer is our friend to keep that bond


With, our God Almighty


And that my friend I treasure so


I never treat it lightly


 

And oh what blessings He bestows


To the soul that waits on Him


To the soul who's ever thankful for


The forgiveness of his sin


 

The brightest spot that shines for God


In this world below


Are the one's who walk in the light of His Word


How Jesus loves us so


 

So tender are His mercy's


His loving kindness too


Great, is our God's faithfulness


For His long- suffering unto you


 

Not willing that any should perish


But that all would come to Christ


See the compassion of that Father


Who paid the ransom price


 

No! ........No!........ No!


God helping me I'll refrain


From the unfruitful works of darkness


That blaspheme Jesus’ name


 

Not one spot or wrinkle


Was on His garments found


Unrighteousness has no fellowship with


That One who bore the crown


 

His blood was shed for sinner's


But blood not tainted such


Nor with the body of human birth


But was virgin born for us


 

That scoffer, scorner, screamer


That yelled "Crucify Him"


Will gaze in awesome wonder when


Our Christ returns again


 

And oh that Spirit groaneth


As He awaits the coming day


When God the Father and God the Son


Experience Coronation's Day


 

When every knee shall bow


And every tongue confess


To the glory of the Father


Who became sin for us no less


 

Sin has to flee away


Darkness cannot abide


The Light of the world Lord Jesus


Has surely stemmed the tide


 

Creation takes a breather


And no longer has to exist


It will be made anew in splendor


By that Son of Righteousness


 

Where everlasting is present


And Eternal life begins


Show me One greater than Whom I know


Who delivers men from sin


 

Ha...... I have found Him


He knows me through and through


And oh my friend do not neglect


To find this Savior too!


 

Find with God such favor


Repent and turn from sin


Put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ


Come..........be born again!

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
