Praise God For

PRAISE GOD FOR

Praise God for the men of old
Who took a stand on the Word
Who believed Salvation came by grace through faith
And that every man deserved
To hear that glorious gospel news
That Jesus saves...Jesus saves
To repent and believe in that blessed Lord
Before they meet their graves
Before they meet their graves

That passion stirred them to the depths
To the very depths of their soul
And made them seek and to save the lost
To see the unworthy made whole
Love that took up residence
Because of God's love for them
Became the motivating factor
In Jesus name amen
In Jesus name amen

And still down to the present day
There are saved men consecrated
To be a witness for the Lord
By kinship they're related
Brothers in Christ in the Lord's army
Faithfully at their post
Serving the Triune Deity
Father...Son...and Holy Ghost
Father...Son...and Holy Ghost

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
