Forever Forgiving

Forgiven forever...hallelujah
All praise be given unto Thy name
My standing secure in Jesus Christ
Yesterday...today...forever...He is always the same
How deep the love of that Father
Who gave of His only begotten Son
To pay the sin-debt that I owed
Praise God He paid for them...everyone!

I scarce can take it in that thought
That Jesus died for me
And reckoned me so worthy of Salvation
To die on Calvary
And took my place...Who knew no sin
For a sinner such as I
And shall this tongue ever refrain
His name to gladly magnify

For truth that stands for Righteousness
Our righteousness became
And offered us so great Salvation
By faith in His most blessed name
Still He seeks the lost and lonely
Come now near... ye weary one
Today if ye hear His still small voice
Come be saved by the Crucified One!

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
