Alas My Soul

Alas My Soul

Alas my soul leave off hesitation
Come and embrace the Lord of Salvation
Submit yourself to God...resist the devil
For Satan is the father of evil
Embrace the Cross!... embrace the Cross!
Leave off suffering eternal loss

Praise God there's hope in the living One
Comprised of the Father...the Spirir...the Son
O triune God deliver me
From the shackles of sin encompassing me
To be saved by the blood of the Crucified One
Let the new birth in me be begun

O Lord I come in true willingness
Anxious for You my soul to now bless
Seeking forgiveness for all of my sin
In true repentance I call upon Him
The One who loved me from eternity past
And gives me assurance that faith shall last

O bend O knee O bow O heart
Let the Lord His grace impart
And light begin to spread its rays
To guide thee in thy walk always
Salvation Hallelujah...Salvation is come!
Tarry not!....or alas thy doom!

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
