Praise God For Jesus Christ

Praise God for Jesus Christ
Who was not ashamed for me
But humbly went upon a Cross
To bear sins death for me
I cannot but help to praise Him
Who by His Holy Spirit
Now indwells this heart of mine
O brother...sister...hear it!

That the very God of Heaven
Should come and dwell amongst men
I have to praise Him repeatingly
Repeatingly I say...amen!
My heart found its true rejoicing
Upon my forgiveness day
When through the precious blood of Christ
My sins were washed away!

Talk about a new paint job
Well mine was done within
Painted by the hand of grace
Who has power to forgive our sin
He painted a cloak of righteousness 
On this heart of mine
And it now beats rejoicingly
Since I have made Christ mine!

O what a hallelujah to find Him
The lover of my soul
With a guarenteed steadfast faithfulness
I love to be under His control
For He who knows tommorow
From its beginnings to its end 
Has proven Himself over and over
To be this saved sinner's Friend!

Yes praise God for Jesus Christ
When love wore its finest Crown
Placed upon the head of  our loving Saviour
As drops of blood poured down
They crowned a King that day
That day of Crucifixion 
The awesome reality when  that hits home
Will be one day most gruesome!

His death has brought me life!
And has given me hallelujah's 
I too shall be raised one day
What a grand hullabalooya
O to know Him and His love
Hallelujah!...Hallelujah!...Hallelujah!...thrice!
I must say it one more time again!
Praise God For Jesus Christ!!!

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
