Everything

Everything

Everything that God demanded of me
Was taken care of at Calvary
A sacrifice for my every sin...done!
My redemption secured through Christ the Son
His sinless blood provided relief
His Resurrection in exchange for my grief
A glorified body on the other side
Gathered there with His chosen bride

I remember where He found me
And nurtured me to the Cross
My unbelief turned to belief
My sins fell off as dross
With a brand new recognition of
Praise God my Saviour lives
As my life eternal... thrilled my soul
What a Salvation He gives!

He's always been faithful to me
Though I have failed Him so
He patches up the wounds I feel
And washes them white as snow
So nearer to the Cross I cling
I know His loving compassion
And try to live accordingly
With those who believe in like fashion

In everything!...yes in everything
I try to please my Lord
His sacrifice demands our best
In the offering of His Word
He speaks and it becomes
Everything He bids it to do
I'll continue to lift up the name of Lord Jesus
For it may mean the Salvation of you!

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
