Because He Gave His Life
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

BECAUSE HE GAVE HIS LIFE 


 


"What thou doest do quickly"


Sent Judas off with haste


He would not waste a moment


His name embodies "disgrace"


What deep hurt had the Master


Beytrayed by one so near


In His midst..known only to Him


For each one He held dear


 


He did not stop


What He knew now lay before Him


He faced that journey 


And took it to the cross


Unto His own


He came in full surrender 


To gain our victory


He suffered for the lost


 


Behold the Lamb!


The sacrificial offering


Dying for sin


His death..our judgment paid.


No more would graveclothes 


Be the cloak of christians


But His righteousness 


Because His life He gave!

Now I feel like singing..."Because He lives..I can face tommorow 


Because He lives all fear is gone


For I know..o..o..He holds the future


And life is worth the living


Just because...He lives!


 


 


May Jesus Christ be praised!

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
