God Gave His Son

GOD GAVE HIS SON


 


God gave His Son all heavenly power


And earthly power too


No other one so powerful as He


His enemies He will subdue 


He held back ftom retaliation 


Who spoke the world into being


Held back from refusing death


To become "our Risen King!"


 


God gave His only begotten Son


The " True and Living Word"


To give to us a standing "Sure"


With the "risen Lord"


His resurrection. .mine's included


Because I've trusted Him


Powerful and .mighty to deliver


Those held fast by Sin


 


God gave each man an opportunity 


To believe on Christ the Son 


Judgment day will be the revalation 


Of each unbelieving one


No turning back for reconsideration 


His Word is " yea and amen "


Whosoever has not believed on Christ


Secured in condemnation!


 


God gave His love liberally


The love that keeps on giving


Until the final reckoning day


With every man still living


There separation takes it's place


Each  soul the tally will tell


Those delivered to heaven's erjoyment


Those dispatched to hell


 


God gave His Son, He paid the price


The precious  blood of the Lamb


No worthier sacrifice could be found


Then Jesus..the Great I Am


Love stooped down to lift us up


To bring us reconciliation 


Praise God for a love like that


God gave "so great Salvation! "

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
