Lord Whom Will You Have
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Lord Whom Will You Have

Lord whom will You have me to sit with
And what will You have me to say
This is my way of keeping close to God
Throughout the course of my day
And if I'm by a train track 
And the lineup is taking time
I put my transmission into park mode
And use it for praying time

You'll be amazed at the peacefulness 
That your spirit will enter into
Your contentment level will escalate 
That's part and parcel of it too
For when He says to cast all of our cares
Upon the most caring One
That's wise counsel to emulate
For it will keep your praises on...

Oftimes when I'm walking around the house
My wife will ask...what did you say my dear
Oh nothing honey I'll say right back
Just praising the Lord over here
And I can tell you most honestly
Because I try to pray without ceasing
My heart contains a deep settled joy
I'll tell you that’s what I'm confessing

So start your morning off with prayer
And continue praying throughout the day
Then in the evening before you retire
Your natural habit will be to pray
It's just a word to encourage you
Your prayer life will determine your course
So never leave off of talking with God
There's not anything you could do that is worse!

So if you haven't done it already
Today make a new covenant with God
Confess to Him of your aloftness
Put your prayer life in travelling mode
So off you go with the Saviour
But now savoring your time to pray
And I'll guarantee you'll have a more blessed life
Because you've taken the time to pray!!!

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
