You May Be Good

You Might Be Good

You might be good but never good enough 
To earn your way to heaven
For there is none good...none but God
Of all the men that are living
Sin has rendered us hopeless
To obtain the worth of God's glory
Christ praise God has offered us hope
This is Salvation's story

He the all innocent One 
Suffered a death of agony
But O the life He's prepared for us
Through Resurrection's victory
Now unclouded are my days
The fear of death behind me
And His Word a sure testimony
Is always there to remind me

No works of mine can justify
My standing in this place
It was only simply by repentance and faith
Through God's amazing grace
Don't miss out on the opportunity 
To be placed in a mansion above
Recognize yourself as a sinner
And accept the Saviour's love!

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
