Try To Live Your Life In Glad Expec

Try To Live Your Life In Glad Expectancy

Try to live your life in glad expectancy
Today if you will my friend 
Turn the corner on sin today 
And trust in Jesus as Friend
Look at the love He produces
In those who trust in His name
Look around and you'll have to admit it
They' are never the same again

The drinking and the drugs are gone
Cigarettes are history
The language issue changed as well
For there's no more blasphemy
The Bible up front and centre
The new medium of choice
Hearing now the Word of God
Attuned to the Master's voice

We can't forget the music either
For now it's sanctified
Lifting up the name of Jesus  Christ
For He is glorified
Hallelujah what a Saviour
Let those joybells ring
For the Lord of lords is our Christ
And praise God He's the King of kings!

Sure there may be some around you
Whose lives may not be up to snuff
But there's no failure in the Saviour
And He's loved you more than enough
He went to the Cross for my sin
And He went there for your sins too
Isn't it time for you to know Him
For today!... He can make you brand new!!!

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
