Everyday Is Resurrection Day

Everyday Is Resurrection Day

Everyday is Resurrection day
For those who know the Lord
Now we're walking in newness of life
Praise God for His Word
Death that once was daunting to us
Right up until the grave
Was dismissed from its taunting power
For now Lord Jesus saves!

Our own rising again shall come
With a glorious body one day
When mortality puts on immortality
Imperishable for eternity
This the blessed Hope we have
Who've put our faith in Christ
We the sinner’s deserving God's wrath
The recipients of His sacrifice

O what power of Resurrection
It's a game changer for sure
Death that once held us captive
Now kaput.... bankrupt.... poor!
In the presence of God we shall stand
And sing most wonderfully
With that One Who triumphed over it
Faith is the Victory!

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
