The Accountability Factor

The Accountability Factor 

The accountability factor
We are each accountable for our own sin
It shall not escape the eyes of God
That knows us so well within
We've only ourselves to fool
We're definitely not fooling God
Who knows that even before we sin
The way that our feet shall trod

O to have the fear of God
Through the chastening of His Word
When we read it and discover in ourselves
As to our deep need of the Lord
Then to take that step of faith
To receive Him and to be blessed
Clothed not in our filthy rags
But now in God's righteousness

Now a series of new beginnings
Is mine praise God to choose
For I've come to understand hallelujah 
My accountability to His Word!
O He is plenteous in mercy
His grace is near at hand 
Put your trust in the Lord today
And He'll give you the faith to understand...

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
