LOVE

Don't give out love in incriments
But give it lavishly
Love poured out through Jesus Christ
Because of Calvary
Love as we are loved by God
Loved without conditions
Loved because we are lost
Held fast in our position

For sin has placed a curse on us
From our beginning breath
And sealed us with it's penalty
The which of which is death
And doomed we were in that plight
Until Lord Jesus came
And took our penalty for sin
That precious dying Lamb

And pleased as the sacrifice... our God
Raised Him from the dead
Now He lives forevermore
Jesus Christ Our living Head
That bona-fide Resurrection
Who endured God's wrath that day
Still in love is seeking lost one's
Sheep who've gone astray

Love the strongest power of persuasion
Love endureth all
With faith and hope in companionship
Heeds the Master's call
For it is not that we loved God
But that our Lord loved us
And gave of His only begotten Son
To die on a cruel Cross

So let love take hold of your heart
Come and know Thy Maker
Who initiated the thoughts of Him
Our Great God and Creator
Who manifested Himself as Christ
Behold God... As the Lamb
And offered forgiveness unto us
Jesus the Great I Am!

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
