When We Read

When We Read

When we read the Bible
We receive an attachment of hope
At first is may seem like the size of a string
But with further reading will become like a rope
You'll find a stregth in the Lord
A strength that is beyond compare
A bonding in the grace of God
That'll be with you everywhere

In the deep, deep love of Jesus
All of our spiritual needs are met
For we've learned to trust in the Saviour
Who has never failed us yet
God never made a mistake
When He put Christ on the Cross
He knew the whole world needed a Deliverer
Right back unto the day of Adam's loss

Our fulfillment when it comes to forgiveness
For He can forgive us from all our past sin
And place a righteousness within our heart's 
That tells us that we've been cleansed
I love that fountain of blessing
Still flowing because of His blood
For He who once became sin for us
Can now bring us to the throne God

A guranteed redemption...hallelujah!
Upon our repentance of sin
A blessed hope that remains eternal
Because of our faith in Him
I praise God that I read the Bible
And found the depths of God's love
For it can save us from the depths of Hell
And fit us for Heaven above!!!

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
