Thanks

Thank you Lord for greeting me
With a forgiving heart
Through the blood of Calvary
Your grace You did impart
That impactful meeting Lord
The day I first believed
From all the bottled up sin inside
I finally was relieved

Joy came flooding in my heart
And peace too like a river
I knew that now I would live forever
That You were the true life Giver
And nothing found that could compare
The pleasure just out of this world
When the Holy Spirit quickened me
As I believed on the Lord

It's not hard to say Hallelujah 
Or even... praise the Lord!
From lips that once used your name to curse
But now loves honoring your Word
The recompense for my neglect
Is to serve You now forever
The question answered most emphatically
Shall I ever leave you....never!!!

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
