You Gave My Heart
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

YOU GAVE MY HEART

You gave my heart a ray of hope
That beats afresh each day
Now I know You as my own
All darkness flees away
That fear of death that gripped my soul
Has been replaced with love
And it all became so real to me
When You saved me Lord, my God

My sin revealed a wicked heart
I never knew I had
The Spirit of God brought it to light
And showed  me just how bad To try and live without you Lord
I just cannot believe
How much we try life on our own
When with you...we really live!

The love of God has staying power
There's power in the blood of the Lamb
He who arose and is still alive!
Is Jesus the great I am
And still He seeks to save the lost
All glory be that name
Who took our place upon a cross
That we might live again!

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
