Prayer Creates the Groundwork
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

PRAYER CREATES THE GROUNDWORK
 
Prayer creates the groundwork
Through which all blessings come
So be faithful at it
Pray for everyone
Even for your enemies
Don't forget to pray
You never know what change will bring
To their lives someday
 
There are many obstacles
To hinder our endeavors
Satan goes about as a roaring lion
Devouring whomsoever
He the defeated enemy
Knows his time's at hand
Yet's determined in his efforts
To keep souls from Heaven's land
 
Pray, pray without ceasing
In everything give praise
Rejoice again and I say rejoice
Continually throughout your day
Praise God we have the Victory
That overcomes the world
By the blood of Jesus Christ
How my soul is thrilled
 
What a story to tell man
They can be forgiven
Have a home in Heaven itself
Free from bondage to sin
How old satan blinds us
To make us go astray
Thank You Lord, thank You Lord
Your the Life, the Truth, the Way

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
