Lord I Can't Contain
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Lord We Can't Contain

Lord we can't contain the joy
That lives within our soul
When You come to us by your Spirit
Your presence takes control
And our praise automatically begins
My God how great Thou art
Removing our sins darkest stains
And cleansing believing hearts

Hallelujah's are just a portion
Of the praise I feel within
In my heart I give You salutation
For forgiving me of my sin
Now, praise God, a brand new tomorrow 
Begins with me today
For a blessed hope has given birth
To live a brand new way

I've learned prayer by praying
Thank you Lord for this grace
Bringing me into your sweet fellowship
Proof... the transformation that's taken place
O what joy in repentance 
A turning away from sin
Having You Lord as my constant companion
When I became born again!

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
