O How Awesome

O HOW AWESOME

O how awesome is our God
Who loves the sinner so
And goes above and beyond all means
To rescue each lost soul

There is not one who He desires
To lose an eternity
To be spent with a loving Father
Who loves unconditionally

The ways and means by which God works
To bring the sinner home
Is a work by the Holy Spirit
Commissioned from Heaven's Throne

The Word of God which brings conviction
And pierces us through and through
Is used by God to bring repentance
To give us life anew

The blood of Jesus Christ God's Son
Sufficient for our sin
We are supplied with saving grace
When we believe on Him

How awesome are You heavenly Father
You loved this world so much
You gave your only begotten Son
That we might have your touch

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
