Now And Forever

Now and forever
It's eternal life for me
Since I put my trust in Jesus Christ
Who died on the Cross for me
An absolute assurance
When the Holy Spirit abides
Bearing witness with my spirit
There's a new me living inside

What a transaction to transition
From the darkness into the light
Where grace abides along with mercy
To those who live in the night
Sin has serious consequences
It will take you to your final breath
Put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
Who Conquerors over death

Lord lead me to repentance
And draw me unto Thee
Help me to turn away from sin
And live victoriously
My heart now has a new song
That it never had before
Singing the praises of Jesus Christ
The Lord whom I now adore

I love my now and forever
And how I treasure it so
Once living with the blackness of sin
Now cleansed by Christ's blood I know
I know my Redeemer lives
Praise God He lives in me
My Resurrection and my Life
Guaranteed for eternity!

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
