What Cleansing Power
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

What Cleansing Power

What cleansing power of Jesus blood
That washes sins away
And through His Spirit makes it known
Praise God we have been saved
And the essence of forgiveness
Permeates our heart
With a joy we've never known before
O God how great Thou art

Now our Father... You've become
Through faith in Christ the Son
And we have fellowship divine
That was hitherto unknown
And we know in whom we've believed
Has become our Shepherd sure
And will never leave or forsake us
While on our journey here

Each day has a fresh wonderment
In knowing Thou art mine
And I'm still enthralled by Your Word
That stands the test of time
And as You Lord changeth not
Your Word is just the same
My hallelujah is in You my Saviour
O praise Your precious name

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
