I'm Looking Forward

I'm Looking Forward

I'm so looking forward to looking backward
When I get to my journey's end
To see what fruit my faith has produced
And who's heading for Gloryland
When prayer's production has been revealed
At least from what I can see
And the joy of also now looking  ahead 
To those awaiting in eternity

He that winners souls is wise
Lord fasten my wisdom there
Longing to see men and women saved
Who are existing in despair
Who have not yet caught that glimpse of hope
That the Light of the world is Christ
Who alone can open blinded eyes
That sin holds closed like a vise

So shall every man give an account
Of his life one day before God
Every thought ...and word and deed
Judged according to His Word
How important to have the facts at hand
But more important in the heart
Remember the Word of God became flesh
I pray you don't hear Him say...Depart!

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
