God Watches Over His Own

God Watches Over His Own

God watches over His own
He keeps them on His mind
He will never leave or forsake us
His promises are Divine
We can rest assured...praise God
In such a Father that loved
Who sent His only begotten Son to earth
That we might live above...

God watches over His own
He sees that fallen tear
Even though you think He's far off
Praise God He is always near
He sticketh closer than any brother
No matter the circumstance
All of your days are under His control
Praise God they are not perchance!

God watches over His own
We are under His protection
When we seek to do God's holy will
He will be moved by His direction
What a Father to lean upon
To trust Him and obey
If we will learn to cast our cares upon Him
Our burdens will roll away!

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
