I'm Alive

I'M ALIVE

I'm alive I really am
A child of God's creation
Once dead in trespasses and sins
Now born again by Salvation
I have the Spirit of Christ in me
I know I'm one of His own
For it bears witness with my spirit
That Christ is my heart's Throne

I've crowned Him Lord of Lords
I've crowned Him King of Kings
And this heart that once was sad
Continually joyfully sings
I live in jubilation
I live in victory
Once chained by sins damnation
I'm free! I'm finally free

For He my Resurrection
Has raised me to new life
And has given me a blessed hope
Free from fear and strife
All glory that Redeemer
I praise that blessed name
I never could have lived as such
If Jesus hadn't came!

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
