I Would Give the World

I Would Give The World


 


I would give the world


To know my sins forgiven


Were that to be


The cry of your heart today


Then friend my Lord


Is waiting up in heaven


He hears your cry


He'll come and with you, He will stay


 


A contrite spirit


One that's brokenhearted


Is precious to


The God who heals the heart


He knows our need


Cannot be found within us


But found in Christ


Who gives a brand-new start


 


O praise You Father


You have made the promise


All who come, who come 


To Christ are saved


Sin, no longer holds us captive


You're the Lord, 


You give victory


Over the grave


 


What wonder of


The God of my Salvation


Frees from sin


The believer on His Son


So thankful am I


I make this declaration


I've been redeemed


Saved by that "Crucified One"


 


So come today


No matter what your baggage


Bring it all


Bring it to the cross


Leave it there


Leave it all behind you


Then walk away


With Him who paid the cost


 


With joy filled heart


The one who knows "his" Saviour


Glad tidings brings


To other weary souls


The message of


The gospel of Salvation


The sinner's Haven


Who makes the weary whole!

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
