PRAISE GOD WE SERVE

Praise God we serve a risen Saviour
In Whom the which...we do believe
Who rose again in glorious splendor
With wondrous victory over the grave

Death cannot hold back that Giver
Who spoke this world into being
Who speaks "new life" by His Spirit
Making lost sinner's...born again

Just a repentant heart to please Him
The One to Whom we have to do
A heart that sees it's lost condition
And seeks that Saviour through and through

Then that cleansing from His fountain
Poured out grace...and mercy...peace
By that precious blood of Jesus
Is the sinner's sure release!

He is Risen...Hallelujah!
Ransomed soul's now sing with praise
He who is the Beginning and Ending
Eternal God!...the Ancient of Days!

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
