I Remember Poem by Gary James Smith

I Remember

I remember those gospel meetings
That lasted a week or so
How the Word of God penetrated my heart
And stirred within my soul
I learnt the word conviction
Conviction for my sin
That I was under God's condemnation
Because of my unbelief in Him

It changed my mind abruptly
As I learned more of the Word
I found that I was a sinner lost
And in definite need of the Lord
God's fear began to take hold of me
I saw that I was undone
One breath away from eternity
With Hell as my destination

I began to learn to pray
God...I believe this is your Word
If there's such a thing as knowing the Saviour
God I wish to be assured
If there's something that I have to feel
Or something that I have to do
Lord I pray You'll reveal it to me
As I read Your Word on through

I was reading in the Gospel of John
Reading of the all I am's
That Jesus was the way, the truth and the life
And my dawning of faith began
I am the good Shepherd
Who giveth His life for the sheep
I am the Water and Bread of life
I will be your substance to keep

I am the door
By the which you may enter in
I am the Light of the world
Faith's journey began to sink in
I am the Resurrection and Life
Whomsoever believeth on me
Though he were dead yet shall He live
The Spirit brought it on home the reality of it to me

I saw it as clear as all get it out
How I was lost and undone
But praise God if Jesus was all those I Am's
Then Hallelujah He was mySalvation
There was nothing that I had to do
Or nothing that I had to feel
The Word of God made it very clear
That faith in Christ could be real

I put my bible aside
And ventured to my bed
I got down on my knees
And these are the words I said
God I know I'm a sinner
And deserving of all ofYour wrath
But You placed the penalty that I deserved
Upon the only Son You had

You raised Him up from the dead
He's now at Your right hand
Please Lord Jesus come into my heart for I truly understand!
The Spirit witnessed to me
That I was born again
And a happy camper I became
In Jesus name...Amen! ! ! !

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
