I Celebrate My Salvation

I CELEBRATE MY SALVATION 


 


I celebrate my Salvation 


I thank God everyday


For giving me eternal life


For showing me the Way


For forgiveness power


I can now forgive


For I, have been forgiven


Truly now I live!


 


Sin has no dominion


Over my blood bought soul


Praise God for His Spirit


That helps to keep me whole


My vision heavenly focused


For that coming day


When the trump of God shall sound


And I'm up up and away


 


Still with a heart of passion


Please Lord save the lost


Use me as a vessel cleansed


By the blood of Calvary's cross


Looking still to that cross 


Where mercy grace had found me


Never returning to that state


Where sin once had bound me


 


I'm free yes indeed I'm free!


I'll tell that blessed story


Never to fear old death again


He's bringing me to glory


Songs of joy bounce of this soul


For Jesus lives within 


For such Salvation....oh so great!


Gives cause for...celebration!


 


So praise You Lord... praise You


I praise Thy blessed name


For when man finds new life in you


He is forever changed


We cannot but keep telling


That gospel message dear


Jesus Christ died for sinner's 


He is the answer here!


 


Seek Him while He may be found


Call upon His name


Cry out to our God almighty


Confess your need of Him


Repent from former sin


Have faith believe the Son


Joy will take up residence


Beginning your...celebration!

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
