What Beauty
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith



WHAT BEAUTY 


 


What beauty in that gospel 


That sets a sinner free


That puts a new song in the heart


Proclaiming "Victory!"


Where forgiveness is a pleasure


For we have been forgiven


By the very God ...our God


Who dwells in yonder Heaven


 


Who took a time in history


That He had preset


To bring a Saviour into the world


To suffer the pain of death


For the sins of the unloving


He came to earth to die


To settle tbe fact " once for all"


 Christ reigns "Supreme " on High


 


That name above all others


That name that's Holy thrice


That name that saves each one who believes 


That name is Jesus  Christ


Who's blood has power to cleanse us


And wash us white as snow


All glory be that blessed name


Who loves each sinner so!


 


How steadfast in His kindness


To still be offering grace


To those who daily reject Him


Nor seek such "Master's face"


I pray Thee heavenly Father


A return to read the bible


A fresh anointing upon our hearts 


We beseech Thee for revival!

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
