Our Great Resource And Solace
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


Our Great Resource Of Solace

Our great resource of solace
Is found in Jesus Christ
Who knows the beginning and the ending
Of our journey here in life
And how sin would seek to deviate
Us from coming to know the Lord
And constantly thwart any effort made
To read God's Holy Word

His love relentless in reaching
The heart of each lost soul
To bring them to a repentant state
So they can be made whole
God is always on the lookout for
Those who turn His way
And to those who are such minded
He will soon become their Stay

The drawing power of the Spirit
Will lead the lost one's home
When in faith they believe in the Word
That Salvation is in Christ alone
Nothing like sinners saved by grace
Singing songs from a soul set free
Delivered now from sin's damnation
Looking forward to a blessed eternity!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

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
