He Saved Us

He Saved Us

He saved us to become somebody
Somebody who lives for God
Sanctified and set apart
To share His blessed Word
To show the world a difference
In those who have been redeemed
Whereas we lived once unto ourselves
Now Lord Jesus Christ is esteemed

The Lord in His mighty power
Has thrust us forth to serve
And from that dutiful calling
We trust we shall never swerve
For with that great love wherewith He loved us
So much that He gave His own life
In steadfastness by the Spirit's helping
We cease from all envying and strife

So out to our mission field
Armed with His precious Word
Preaching the glad tidings to captives
To those who have never heard
There is a Redeemer,
Jesus Christ God's Son
And whomsoever trusts in Him
Accepts that victory won

Where sin defeated once for all
For our sin bearer He became
And rose again from up the dead
Lord Jesus Christ His name
And death became a silent mocker
It could not speak any more
For He our Resurrection and our Life
Praise God opened Heaven's Door!

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
