Wrapped Around The Word Of God

Wrapped Around The Word Of God

Wrapped around the Word of God
My arms hold fast to Him
To the old rugged Cross I cling
There my Victor over sin
And now a bright horizon looms
To a Land that is fairer than day
For because He lives I too shall live
Hallelujah!...Hallelujah!...I say....

With gratitude my heart explodes
What treasure in God's Word
My faith has magnified Its worth
What a blessing that I had heard
The Son of God came down for me
To raise me from a grave
Now with one word I too can praise 
Hallelujah!...Hallelujah!...I say...

Prepare your heart to receive a King
There's room at the Cross for you
Don't let satan keep you down
For Christ came to live in you
Grasp today the truth of it
Praise God Lord Jesus saves
Repent and receive your own Hallelujah 
Hallelujah! ...Hallelujah!...I say...

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
