Guilty As Charged

Guilty As Charged

Guilty as charged is the admission 
That God would love to hear
Showing forth a heart of repentance 
In need of the Lord's repair 
An uttering of those precious words
" God be merciful unto me"
Then a heart response of genuine thanksgiving
For the Cross of Calvary

To see the Light in the glorious light
Of the written and living Word
And the Son in all of His Holiness
Being obedient unto God
Who even in the face of death
For our sin not of His own
Took love to its Highest level 
And bore our shame alone

How can it be?...How can it be?
Such grace bestowed our way
When we repent of our sin
Faith's victory comes to stay
Full relief through sin's forgiveness
Never was there such a Man
Now I can say with glad assurance
Praise God Lord Jesus can!
Now I can say with glad assurance 
Praise God Lord Jesus can!!!

Amen and 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
