This World Has Lost

THIS WORLD HAS LOST


 


This world has lost it's hold on me


I feel it's  grip is gone


Since I've been looking to Jesus Christ


The battle now is won


No longer lured by things of past


The future looks so bright


I've had my walk with darkness


Now I'm walking in the Light


 


Heavens left an impression


On this heart of mine


Stamped with approval by His Spirit


I'm having a blessed time


Just seeking to please my Master


I look alone to Him


Looking over the harvest fields


Seeking souls to win


 


I have no hidden agenda


But open unto all men


They must repent of their sin


They must be born again


The torment of hell is awaiting


Each soul not safe in the Son


What more motivation do we need


Then to be telling everyone


 


Awaken then to your calling


You have a commission too


Tell your friends tell your neighbors 


Even your enemies too


Don't waste anothet calendar day


Mark it well my brothers 


We're not here to live for self


We're here to live for others!


 


What would Jesus do if He were here today


Would He let the world go by as we do each day


No I really don't think so as He's proven in the past


There's enough sinners to go around


we'll never finish the task


With God's love as our anchor...we're held fast by Him


Let's venture forth in faith believing


God will save from sin!


 


Prepare your heart then brother


Give it room for prayer


Take what quiet time you need


To meet with your God there


You'll leave a different person


From that hallowed place


Then live your life with sacrifice


With God's amazing grace!

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
