Famliarization With God's Promises

Familiarization With God's Promises

Familiarìzation with God's promises
Is in each believer's arsenal
For when we are equipped with handling God's Word
Our walk with the Lord will go well
Study to show yourself approved unto God
For we are His workmanship in Christ Jesus
For when we signed up as soldier's of the Cross
We've prepared ourselves ready for service

No turning back until the victory is won
We're equipped for the gospel's propagation
The enemy has nothing in the offering
Praise God we have a so great Salvation
We're just following orders from our Commander
Who said go ye into all the world
And preach the gospel to every creature
Keep faith's flag unfurled!

And sow we go planting seed
And it may be another that waters
But praise God there might be fruit from our effort
In the form of someone's sister or brother
So keep on plugging away my brother
Praise God for your soldiering
For for your faithfulness in God's work
It may result in some soul harvesting...

Praise God for the Cross before us
Praise God for the empty tomb
For they both shout out " I love you"
Now gone forever is our gloom
"He's not here for He has arisen"
Who can ever forget that phrase
Praise God for our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ
Who praise God will be coming some day!!!

I'm not handing in my uniform
For now it sticks to me like glue
I love too much to share of that One
Who has made my own life brand new
Yes I'm in it for the long haul now
At least until He calls me home
For Jesus the lover of my soul
Has guaranteed my eternal Home!!!

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
