When You Trust

When You Trust

When you trust the blood of Christ
Being sufficient for your sin
Then you enter the realm of faith
Well pleasing unto God my friend
And ignite a flame of fire
Fed by the Spirit of God
To now live for His glory
With an understanding of His Word

When faith has found it's resting place
Established on the solid Rock
Corruptible words lose their flavor
Now with circumspect we talk
Equipped and designed to do God's will
His Spirit leading us so
Praying in faith while following Jesus
In our journey here below

Then our trust leads to obedience
"What Lord is Your desire?"
Help me learn to keep your precepts
And lift the name of Jesus higher
O what love of Jesus Christ
Who can cleanse each heart from sin
Never a Friend so faithful as He
Learn to put your trust in Him!

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
