Praise God For The Choice

Praise God For The Choice

Praise God for the choice of Christ
For our Redeemer lives
And offers up a satisfaction
From the love He gives
Who reckons sin no greater than
The sin of unbelief
And offers pardon to the max
To the surety of our soul's relief

Look no further than to the One
Who bore the greatest shame
And offered Himself as Sacrifice
Lord Jesus is His name
The Lamb of God and Shepherd
How worthy is that Son
Who offers a full pardon still
Unto each repentant one

Praise God for the choice of Christ
We each have our own will
The Spirit seeks to draw us near
To the cross on Calvary's Hill
Where forgiveness freely flows
Every sinner can be reconciled
I pray you find your refuge there
Come humble yourself as a child!

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
