It Is The Lord's Salvation

It Is The Lord's Salvation

It is the Lord's Salvation
There's no other Offeror
Who would go to such great lengths  of love
To make our standing sure
And take a hold of old death itself
And shake it to the core
Rendering it as a useless means
To bother us as before

What a mighty God have we
Who can deliver our heart's from sin
And in return give replacement of forgiveness
His Spirit indwelling our heart's within
Now forever it is settled
Such a bond between my God and I
Saved to give back to Him service
Service until the day I die

What a labor of love for me
Greater love that no man hath
Innocent Himself of any sin
But for mine!!!...taking all of God's wrath
I've great cause to praise Him..praise Him!
Standing fast at my station...
With the joy of telling other lost sinner's 
Christ's story of so great Salvation!

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
