When You Experience Love

WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE LOVE


 


When you experience love 


Such as God can give


Then and only then


Will you truly live


For life that is from heaven


Cannot be matched on earth


Its only when you receive it


By having second birth!


 


For God's love is wonderful


It is filled with grace


Mercy in abundance 


Flows from heaven's place


Forgiveness by our Saviour 


Who paid sin's penalty


Herein is love..not that we loved Him


But that He loved you and me


 


Find a quiet spot


Talk to God above


Thank Him for so great salvation


And His wondrous love


Then love all around you


Each creature and creation


May God's Spirit keep you in


True love and admiration


 


For our heavenly Father


Is titled "God is love"


His love for sinner's unsurpassed 


He shed His precious blood 


A love that loves it's enemies


To think it seems absurd


Praise God He's still active


He is the " living Word!"


 


O love that will not let me go


I find my strength in Thee


Wrapped in arms of righteousness 


Enjoying liberty


With a heart that's been transformed


By You my God above


Each day grows still sweeter


Praise God for Calvary's love


 


With a heart that's been transformed 


By You my God above 


Each day grows still sweeter 


Praise God for Calvary's love!

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
