I Appreciate The Word Of God

I appreciate the Word of God
It's not the words of men
It's inspired by the Holy Spirit
And convicts us of our sin
And for our sin it was produced
That we might taste and see
The result of faith in Jesus Christ
That sets the captives free...

I appreciate the Word of God
The Comforter of our soul
That gives assurance of God's presence
Praise God He's in control
When we cast our cares upon Him
We know He cares for us
And holds us closely by His Spirit
Because He loves us much

I appreciate the Word of God
I love It's meditation
That builds me up with Spiritual power
To address to each situation
For great and greatly to be praised
Is the Author of the Word
Who declares it will abide forever
How important that It is heard!

I appreciate the Word of God
For It has resulted in my Salvation
Now I know beyond a shadow of doubt
The very God of earth's Creation
The Word that holds together by Its power
All that we can or cannot see
Has by my faith believing on It
Secured my eternity!

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
