Stength For Today


 


Strength for today Lord is all I ask


For I can do none other


I give You all I am and have


For Your my closest Brother


There is not one thing in my life


But that You don't consider


And I praise You for that fact


As I sit and rest here


 


All around me there is calm


For You are by my side


Even above all  life's extremities


You are my precious Guide


In Thy hand Lord, in Thy hand


I am so secure


None can sever this relationship


Of that I am assured


 


Our time on earth You know quite well


Our past, our present, our future


All of our days are in Thy hand


Praise God we live Forever


In Thy presence,sure delight


No sickness, sorrow, or saddness


The rest of our days spent with Thee


Pure unadultarated gladness


 


You've raised the tempo, raised the tempo


Taken it up a notch


Removed us from the wiles of satan


Because of Calvary's Cross


Where not ONE sin, nor death, nor hell


Could render such Display


For Thou has given us, Grace to live


For You are, our STRENGTH FOR TODAY.........

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
