Sin Has An Extreme Weight

Sin Has An Extreme Weight

Sin has an extreme weight
A burden to heavy to bare
If it's not diagnosed properly
It will lead you to despair
Are you feeling an unsettling 
An absence within of peace
No deep felt joy or rejoicing
Then you definitely need sin's release

There is only one solution
To deal with the problem of sin
You must acknowledge the fact of it
And confess it unto Him
He will not condemn you
If you take your burdens there
But with open arms He will welcome you 
And all that it takes is prayer

Dear Lord I come confessing
For I know that I have sinned
I need your mercy now my Lord
Let your Spirit live within
I've accepted that transactional truth
That you've done at Calvary
You took all of the wrath that I deserved
To set this sinner free

So come into my heart Lord Jesus
You're the One who can deal with sin
For you alone can take a sinful heart
And make it pure within
And joy and peace come tandemly 
When I call upon Thy blessed name
Sin no longer has a stronghold
For I've been graced and 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
