Christ Died For Our Sins

Christ Died For Our Sins

Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures
He was buried and He arose again
On the third day just as He said
Jesus's Word is yea and amen!
"It is finished"! was uttered from the Cross
God's wrath upon Him for our sin
Now..."go ye forth into all the world"
The Resurrection life to proclaim

When He was seen by numerous folk
The reality became surreal
Christ the Lord had risen indeed
Imagine how it made them feel
The fear of men no longer held sway
Nor the fear of death, nor of Hell
Great joy broke out amongst His followers
For Jesus doeth all things well

Praise God the church's foundation
Is in Jesus Christ the Lord
The gates of Hell shall not prevail
Forever honored is God's Word
For our Resurrection and our Life
Is still found in Christ the Son
The empty tomb bears witness to
Great thing that our God has done!

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
