Your Name Lord

Your Name Lord

Magnified and glorified
How worthy to be praised
Initiator of human life
Thou knowest our end of days
And Salvation as an offering
In spite of our wickedness
When repentance is realized
We receive Your blessedness

Love with purest excellence
He loveth like none other
Quick to forgive the prodigal
And each wayward one my brother
Reach out to the Father
You'll find Him in the Son
Be transformed by the written Word
Have faith in the Crucified One

Not one sin had tainted Him
He was innocence Supreme
Tempted though He was like us
To temptation He didn't give in
In His victory we have victory
His Spirit our Guardian 
The truth it stands eternal
And not refuted by men

Your name Lord my desire 
I know it's perfect claim
For whomsoever trusts in You
Will surely rise again
They put You to death at Calvary
But in reality...an empty tomb!
Come be ye reconciled to God today
At the foot of the Cross there's room!

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
