You Can Be Sure

You Can Be Sure

You can be sure.  sure as your breathing
That you can know the Son of God
Find Him in the Scriptures
Through which faith is to be understood
With an awareness of God's  presence
His Spirit will bring Him near
With a prayer...Father forgive me
Please Father meet me here

 It is my understanding
At least as far as I know how
That if I truly repent of my sin
You'll come into my life somehow
So here I am with all of me
Ready for all of You
Empty me of myself dear Lord
So there's room in my heart for You

Accept my contrite condition
I can't believe I'm kneeling here
Willing to be willing Lord
With faith and Godly fear
I rest upon Your promises
Trusting completely in Your Word
Thankful that I've come to confess
Full faith in what I've heard

You gave a one worded answer 
Seemingly so simplistic to some
But in that word a most significant meaning
Who doesn't know what means..."Come"!
So friend I'm thankful that I came
And found the true realization
God's amazing offer is still on the table
Come repent and you'll find Salvation!

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
