There's Staying Power

There's Staying Power

There's staying power in Jesus Christ
He is our life everlasting
Yesterday, today, forever
Such a treasure that we can bask in
He took our sin past...present...and future
And nailed it to the Cross
To the satisfaction of God the Father
Christ paid the uttermost cost!

Joy had to wait for three days
Until there at the empty tomb
Where our sentence of death was finalized 
By the raising of the virgin born Son
Hallelujah's began their chorus's
And heaven and earth proclaimed
He is not here for He is arisen!
All praise be unto His name
He is not here for He is arisen!
All praise be unto His name

Captured by truth my soul can express
That wonderful work of the Son
With God's Holy Spirit now living in me
A generation of praise has begun
Hallelujah's began their choruses 
And Heaven and earth proclaimed 
He is not here for He has arisen!
All praise be unto His name
He is not here for He has arisen!
All praise be unto His name

When I hear another tell me His story
How that Christ too has set him free
Then within me there starts my Hallelujah 
For I can identify absolutely
Nothing like a soul that's been saved
Or as God's Word says " born again "
Forgiven from sin and filled with the Spirit
In Jesus name amen...amen!
In Jesus name amen!

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
