Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for answered prayer
Each day that I'm a witness there
And as Thy Word is shared and all
I sweetly sense the Spirit's call
I make a checkmark on my list
You have worked and You have blessed
What a moment t'is to my heart
That You have had a special part.......thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for answered prayer
When duty calls when You are there
Divine appointments being fulfilled
As Thou has ordered as Thou hast willed
Not a minute early or a minute late
As just upon Thyself we wait
To see Your hand in everything
I cannot but with praises sing.........thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for answered prayer
We're not just speaking to empty air
But to Thy throne of grace we come
With our petitions every one
On the knees of our hearts in prayer
With contrite broken hearts that care
And know beyond a shadow of doubt
Great grace and mercy You'll pour out...thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for answered prayer
I see it's evidence everywhere
I hear the sound of a rushing wind
Mighty deliverance over sin
Believers alert to the needs of others
A bonding of both sisters and brothers
An awareness of our soon coming Lord
A revival of preaching of Your Word.....thank You Lord

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
