Prayer Paves the Way

PRAYER PAVES THE WAY

Prayer paves the way where roads of grace
Can bring the sinner home
And smooths the roughest sin's terrain
That caused him first to roam

It takes the tears of broken hearts
Entrenched with manifold love
To persevere in numerous trials
With view to God above

A steadfast, unwavering
With face set like a flint
Praying without hesitation
For whom the prayers are sent

We wait and wait and wait and wait
With patience from our Lord
Who sees the final end in sight
And blesses by His Word

Drenched in prayer we labor on
Not burdened down with cares
But looking to our Lord  above
Who paves the way with prayers

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
