When God Said

When God Said

When God said..."Let there be light!"
Imagine the revelation
When nature rejoiced with jubilant praise
Towards the God of their Creation
Marvelous were the works of God's hands
The great beginning of a destiny
That would bring Jesus Christ to an old rugged Cross
To save a lost sinner like me

That marvel can't leave me
For I praise Him each day
When I open my eyes...I'm...
Lead immediately to pray
Thank you O Father
For the gifting of Your Son
For a so great Salvation
Where true joy is begun

Never a light was...
So brightly to shine
Praise God hallelujah 
That this Saviour is mine
When your heart finds Him
You too will see
That only He...alone...could say
The Light of the world is me!!!

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
