Practice Grace

Practice grace today
It will be of benefit
Do it with a  generous heart
And for the love of it
For it will be a testimony
To our heavenly Father
That you didn't hold back in the giving of it
But that you went a little farther

And when grace's power
has been released
It cannot but be felt
And the residue of that act
Will certainly be a story telt
For God cannot but to bless
The act of such a giving
For it always points us to that One
Who gives us grace for living

My praises of remembraces
That still bring smiles to my face
Is of the times I've been a recipient of
My God's amazing grace
Because I've felt and tasted of it
And have received a heartfelt blessing
I cannot but help to try and share
That grace to others...I'm confessing...

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
