A Body Broken
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

A BODY BROKEN

A body broken,

His shed blood

Brought forth redemption

O praise the Lord

Not for His own sin

Which He knew none

But for our sins

God sent His Son.

 

God sent His Son

O praise His name

Throughout the ages

Jesus the same

Yesterday

Today, forever

God never changeth

He is my Saviour.

 

He is my Saviour

O how He loved

Went to the cross

And shed His blood

All my sins were

On Him laid

Took its full penalty

Death then the grave

 

Death, then the grave

It could not hold Him

To not one soul

Was He beholden

But Mighty Conqueror

He became

My risen Saviour

O praise His name.

 

O praise His name

All ye who know Him

He's coming one day

And that is awesome


 

Seek ye Him while

He may be found

We shall rise from

This mortal ground

 

This mortal ground

Burnt up with fire

New heaven and earth

Is our attire

Now with our Saviour

Tis pure delight

Goodbye all darkness

We're with the light.

 

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
