Never Minimize Sin

Never Minimize Sin

Never minimize sin
For it gives the maximum penalty
For the wages of sin is death
It's the graveyard's testimony 
There's only One that I know of
Who had victory over sin's cost
Who became sin for us who knew no sin
And died there on Calvary's Cross

The grave could not hold Him captive
For He was not beholden to sin
In obedience to His Heavenly Father
He said I will suffer for them
God was well pleased with that offer
He lead Him to the Cross in our stead
But three days later...our Victory assured
As Christ raised Himself from the dead

Hallelujah for that Saviour
That procured for us an eternity
That took sin and shook the death out of it
To offer us sweet liberty
Even children can understand it
For faith is as simple as this
Whomsoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
Will live with a heavenly bliss

Repentance is still on the table
The day of grace is still at hand
Today why not make the choice of a lifetime
Secured by Salvation's plan
We all know that we are sinner's 
The Spirit convicts us of this
Christ took your place...what amazing grace!
Why reject such an offer as His!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

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
