He Raised the Bar
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith

HE RAISED THE BAR

He raised the bar of righteousness
When He atoned for sin
And wrought Salvation through His name
When man is born again
He laid the foundation for our hope
By rising from the dead
And showed us love unlike any other
That we have ever had!

His Spirit living in our heart
What glorious miracle
That God Himself would take up reign
O how He loveth still
And though my sin helped put Him there
He shed His blood for me
That I might know His forgiving power
Because of Calvary

All glory to that precious name
That name of Jesus Christ
Who one day will rule this world
And reign in righteousness
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Who is our Great High Priest
One day to earth He will come
And offer Purest Peace!

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
