Three Powerful Words

THREE POWERFUL WORDS

Three powerful words spoken from the cross
They shall never be diminished
Still they echo with clarion call
It is finished...it is finished...it is finished!
Sin had met it's match in Christ
For sinless was that Saviour
God well pleased with His sacrifice
And soon would show His favor

For up from the grave He arose
On the third day as was spoken
Standing in His resurrected body
His aliveness as our token
Supping with His beloved disciples
Proof that it was He
The One who walked on the way to Emmaus
Was the Man of Calvary

Don't try works to bring you glory
But trust in Christ the Son
Draw near now with repentant heart
And receive that blessed One
That name above all names on earth
And above all names in Heaven
Uttered forth from the cross..."It is finished!
Our Bread of Life...Unleavened!

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
