When Our Need

When Our Need

When our need is at its deepest extent
We know that to us God's ear is bent
And a love packed with such generosity
Can offer up forgiveness from Deity
Any heart that's in a repentant mode
Will find consideration from the Lord

Seek ye the Lord while He may be found
We're just earthen vessels but eternity bound
Two destinations but only one bodes well
One leads to Heaven and the other leads to Hell
We have a will to make choices make yours today
Remember Jesus Christ is the Life, Truth, the Way

There's a deep, deep well of Salvation
Offering a blessing without cessation 
Mercy and grace, abundant and free
By the shedding of Christ's precious blood for thee
O the wonder, the wonder of it all
Eternal life to whomsoever on the Lord will call!

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
