My Gift of Eternal Life

My Gift Of Eternal Life

My gift of eternal life
My peace of reality
Is mine here now to enjoy
Because of Calvary
In my faith of belief in Him
My new life has begun
God has blessed me by His Spirit
When I trusted Christ the Son

Fellowship...how sweet it is
With my God and I
Never to be alone again
He's with me till I die
Then death's sting so momentary
The grave my victory
For when I breath earth's last breath
My next...is in eternity

So great Salvation I declare
What blessings now are mine
To know my precious Lord as such
Each day's a blessed time
For that old fear of death that once
Gripped me to the core
Has not a trace upon my life
I'm bound for Heaven's shore

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
