Subject: Poem:HE CHOSE TO LOVE ME


 


HE CHOSE  TO LOVE ME


 


Don't  think yourself a hopeless case


Our God is the God of grace


With deepest love you'll ever know


Come to Him and let Him show


Insurmountable problems sure


He knows them all yet still He's near


Give every one into His care


Cry out to Him in earnest prayer 


 


He choose to love me


O praise His name


When all my offering


Was sin and shame


He drew me to Him


Then blended knee


Behold "salvation "


He died for me


 


Be reconciled now to your Maker


Salvation's gift and earth's Creator 


See sin now for what it is


The soul's Destroyer and serpent's hiss


Conquering love amazing grace


He loved so much He took my place


And offering fully pardon for sin


Don't neglect "salvation " in Him


 


He choose to love me


O praise His name


When all my offering 


Was sin and shame


He drew me to Him 


Then blended knee


Behold "salvation "


He died for me


 


Enjoying completely my walk with Him


Seeking to triumph.over sin 


His Holy Spirit abides with me


Blessed assurance blessed Calvary


What glorious wonder of it all


That on the Lord I did call


He drew me to Him "what  blessed day"


I met the "Master" love found a way


 


He choose to love me


O praise His name


When all my offering 


Was sin and shame 


He drew me to Him


Then blended knee


Behold "salvation"


He died for me

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
