Just My God and I

Just My God and I

Many times while walking

I've offered up my praise

And thanked the Lord for blessings

He's brought along my way.

 

How swiftly time does fly

Heading to my destination

When offering praises to

The God of my salvation.

 

It does my heart much good

When I use my time this way

It seems to lighten the load

As I journey on my way.

 

How sweet my meditation

My mind is filled with peace.

When walking with my Lord

My steps seem to increase.

 

Finally I've arrived

My how time did fly

My spirit has been lifted

With just my God and I.

 

The songwriter said it best

Whether by day or night

'A little talk with Jesus'

Makes things right.

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
