I Drank From The Cup
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


I DRANK FROM THE CUP

I drank from the cup of salvation
And O how sweet it was
It satisfied my thirst and longing
Addressed my needy cause
And upon some deep reflection
I knew from whence I came
A descendant of that sinner Adam
And guilty just the same

But grace poured out from Calvary
And washed my sin away
And darkness turned into Light
Praise God I saw the Way
Now a sinner saved by grace
That faith had led me too
And born again by His Spirit
To live a life anew

Repentance came to this poor heart
I cried out to the Lord
And just as soon as I had prayed
He confirmed to me He heard
And joy released a new found song
I know my Redeemer lives
And offering so great Salvation
This is the love that gives

And God still loves the world He made
And holds it by His Son
Through whom is all power in heaven and earth
His name above everyone
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Drink from Salvation's cup
Then live for God until you're raptured
And all of the saints caught up!

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
