I've Hung My Hat
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

I've Hung My Hat

I've hung my hat on some memories
That have led to my relaxation
Especially thinking upon the one's
In regards to some friend's Salvation
To hear again of the instances that God had put into effect
To arrange the meeting paths of friends
His ways and means were always perfect

Just like fresh cookies from an oven
They still brings my heart some warmth
As I keep the consideration of friends still afresh
And of our deepened bonds of strength
For special aways is that sentiment of remembrance
As we share of the old rugged Cross
And how our lives have been intertwined
It's a memory that I have never lost

How I still brag about those moments
Careful to the giving of God all of the glory
To have watched a life become literally transformed
Now that in itself is a wonderful story!
As I sat with some men just the other evening
Listening to their sharing of their conversion facts
I thought to myself...amen!...hallelujah!
That's sure justification for the hanging of hats!!!

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
