The I Am

The I Am

The I Am is in the house
You can take that to the bank today
There's a so great Salvation awaiting you
Your stubborness has kept you away
O you won't believe in the news eh?
You say it's as fake as all get out
But brother set your faith in God's Word
And I'll tell you it will produce a shout

Do you think the Lord who made this world
Is wont to keep His Word?!!!
Why just the very thought of that
To me is most absurd
Find a Gentleman such as Him
Who let men treat Him so
And had no want of retaliation
Because He loved their soul's 

Who had such forgiveness in His heart
Full of grace to freely give
To anyone who expressed their need
Of a different way to live
Praise God He's still available
He's the absolute Great I Am
If there's anyone who can wrought change in your life
Praise God the Lord Jesus can!

The rubble of your broken heart
He can surely sweep away
And put a joy and a peace within
That will brighten up your day
Look at the number of things Christ is
And then...then think again!
He's so very far from ordinary
He's the extraordinary Great I Am!

I am the way...the truth...the life
He said I am the door
He said I am the light of the world
There's not only this but more
If your soul is hungry friend
The Lord Jesus is what you need
For He said I am the water of life
And I am the true bread indeed! 

Needing a Shepherd to guide you
I am the Good Shepherd He is
Questions about death on your plate
I am is the Resurrection no less
I think that that should about explain things
Praise God how Lord Jesus can bless
I don't know about you today my friend
But I am not settling for anyone else!

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
