It All Starts Here

It all starts here...believe it...God exists!
Just look around and enjoy His majesty
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord 
Under the hand of the One who holds your eternity
Your deepest need will be of God
So it's great to know Him as a personal Friend
You'll find Him in the Book of Life
Amen for the God of the world without end!

There's a great discovery found within the Word
That a Saviour was sent from above
To offer up His life on an old rugged Cross
And in innocence shedding His own precious blood
But that blood not tainted by any sin
Had such  wonderous cleansing power
And praise God every soul who trusted in Christ
Received forgiveness  upon his believing Hour!

Something to be excited about for sure
For we now have a Spiritual identification
God's Holy Spirit now living within
As a seal of our eternal Salvation
We're not looking around for solutions
For our deepest need was the Son
You can take the world but I'll take Jesus
Hallelujah for that life saving One!!!

Not only does He blow false doctrine out of the water
But He walked on it as well
Proof of His Resurrection power
For Jesus doeth all things well
Praise God He upholds us by His Word
Hallelujah Lord Jesus never fails!
He is our church's One foundation
And hallelujah that truth prevails!!!

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
