Draw Our Thoughts
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Draw Our Thoughts

Draw our thoughts unto You Lord
For life is but a vapor
Here we are and then we're gone
The years so disappear
We look at old age as far away
And then before we know it
A lenthened glance in a mirror
Begins to really show it

How better time spent could have been
We spend in reminiscing
And forget to capture the present moment
Sometimes that's what we're missing
So take the time a quiet time
Of reflection again today
And draw yourself again towards God
You can you know if you pray

Don't miss out on His friendship now
For He's closer than any brother
And He cares far more about you
Than will any other
So here I am again my God
In my favourite hiding place
In the closet of prayer with You
Seeking the Master's face

For Thou art my Conqueror
Over sin and death and Hell
What great cause for jubilation
Jesus doeth all things well
My past, my present, and my future
But a vapor and then it's gone
But thankful for an everlasting tenure
With Jesus God's dear Son!

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
