The Spirit's Promptings

O for a discerning heart
As to when to say a word
And not to be a coward at it
But in boldness for the Lord
For we have not a fearful Spirit
That we should recoil at such
But a Spirit of love, power, and of a sound mind
Thanks to the Master's touch

For we have been saved to tell others
Of an eternal destiny
Either forever with the Father above
Or with Satan forever to be
Our so great Salvation inspires
Our hearts to deliver the goods
To tell that glorious gospel news
Obedient to the Lord as we should

So when there comes hesitation
But you feel a prodding from God
Pray for the words He'll give you to say
And that they might be understood
Be that witness for Jesus
Not ashamed to own His cause
But strong in the faith in the strength of the Lord
For the glory of the Cross
For the glory of the Cross!

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
