Our Hope

Our Hope

Our hope in Jesus Christ
Is our purifier
In Whom we live by His Spirit
Our thoughts are now much higher
For holy, holy, holy
Is our blessed Lord
And now in obedience unto Him
We seek to trust His Word

Now sin cannot so easily
Detour us from His way
For when it arises in our heart
We immediately begin to pray
And there the victory's won
Because of Resurrection power
And joy and peace remain unfettered
Stabilized hour by hour

O the wonder of it all
How glorious our Salvation
To be redeemed and reconciled
Great cause for sure elation
With our hope that never fadeth
Abundant life have we
Which mandates us to share the gospel
Praise God for Calvary!

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
