How Thorough

How Thorough

How thorough is Thy Word O God
That knows us through and through
And points us to the blessedness
Of our deep need of You
And brings to light the hidden things
That You have labeled as sin
And points us to the only One
By which sins are forgiven

Yes the Cross still satisfies
And still has power to save
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Will raise us from our grave
With our new found life in Him
Our Victory is supplied
Praise God He lives Lord Jesus lives
That One Who for sin has died

I stand in that faith and I rejoice
I know in Whom I have believed
And have the witness of the Holy Spirit
Which upon my faith I received
My sin debt totally paid by Christ
He paid for them.... EVERYONE!
No longer a slave or a servant to sin
In Jesus I have found Freedom!

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
