What Love Of Christ

What Love Of Christ

What love of Christ
To take our place on Calvary
To seek our good
Far far above His own
Who knew the price
That sin would demand of Him
Yet took God's wrath
To gain our presence at His Throne

With sin's onslaught
To bring us to a swift demise
God's grace ensued
To bring the lost one's home
And by His Word
We discover faith in Him
And rejoicing are those
Who own Him as their own

Make swift my feet
To follow after Jesus
Who leads the way
The kindly Shepherd He
For in His love
In His great grace and mercy
Still seeks for soul's
With love poured out from Calvary

Look and live
My brother live
Let light shine in
Where darkness reigned before
Behold the Lamb
God's sacrifical offering
Make your heart receptive
To Christ Who is the Door!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

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
