God Does Not Accept

God Does Not Accept

God does not accept human righteousness 
If that's what we're propagating 
No contribution on our behalf 
Has merit towards our Salvation
We are merely mortal man Born with a sinful nature
And only God can change us 
if He plants His Holy Spirit there

Can you imagine such a Creator
Willing to come alongside 
To forgive you of every sin committed
Then to dwell with you inside
And by His Holy Spirit
Quicken you to new life
A new creation "born again!
Filled with the hope of eternal life

Jesus came to die for sinners 
Yet not one was found in Him
The perfect Sacrifice for our redemption
Come trust in Him let grace begin
We know that sin is ever with us
Our heart's condemn us does it not
But praise God there's a loving Saviour
Who Himself has Salvation brought!

Make the effort it's really worth it
And comes with a hundred percent guarentee 
Whomsoever repents and trusts in the Saviour
Will spend life with Him for eternity
There's family members and friends who are waiting
Prayers being prayed that you would know Him
Isn't it High time that you meet the Master
And one day be delivered  from every sin!

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
