I Will Call "O Lord Jesus"

I Will Call "Oh Lord Jesus"

Your mercies are new and fresh every morning
I drink of your goodness and eat of your bread
As I call on your name I am prompted to thank you
And gladly your Gospel am willing to spread

What a privilege to be in your presence Lord Jesus
Where conflict and burdens are lifted and gone
As I call on your name I am promoted to thank you
For all of the wonders in my life you have done

You’re my strength and my shield and my wonderful Saviour
You bring joy to my soul and gladness of heart 
As I call on your name I am prompted to thank you
Calling “Oh Lord Jesus”, please give me my start

To a day full of pressure and stress from the world
That is hopeless and careless and demands my all
I will call on your name and be prompted to thank you
For deliverance and freedom from burdens and all

I will call “Oh Lord Jesus”...in all of my day
Knowing you answer and have promised to stay 
And I’m prompted to thank you for being right here
As my journey ahead has been made perfectly clear!

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
