WITH FULL COHERENCY 


 


We overheard the Saviour speak


From yonder Calvary's cross


Words with monumental meaning


Even though He was suffering loss


Words that spoke with deepest feeling


For He was nearing death


Words that gave to one a pardon


And determined eternal breath


 


His words of such weighty matter


And given for consideration 


Proves the love that God the Son


Provided through Salvation 


Asking forgiveness from the Father


To forgive His enemies


Enjoining John and  Mary His mother


Assuring those family ties


 


Love hung there in agony


And shed His precious blood


Yet took great pleasure knowing


This was acceptable to God


That Holy sacrificial Lamb


Obedient to His Father's will


Took God's wrath for sin upon Him


And bore Golgotha's Hill


 


Now new life and purposeful living


Is offered to each one


Who repent of sin and truly believe


In Jesus Christ God's Son


For here forgiveness has beginning 


For by Christ we are forgiven 


No longer dead in trespasses and sin


But "in Him" truly living


 


For on that cross..on full display


The Son of Righteousness 


Who can give redemptive grace


And save a man " no less"


For He has power...all power is given


To Him on heaven and earth


To grant to any repentant sinner


The offer of "new birth!"


 


Take a fresh look at that cross


Determine your destination


Will it be with Christ the Lord


Or of "eternal damnation"


Focus now on eternity


Tis but a breath away


Listen with full coherency 


"Come to Christ today!"

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
