God Took Love

God Took Love

God took love to its highest degree
In the offering of His Son
For it was through Him that He dealt with sin
That day of Christ's Crucifixion 
To pour out wrath on a sinless One
Took a sure act of love
To bring deliverance for every lost sinner
Who repents and calls upon God

Love is a feeling we know it inside
God has designed that it be
To stir our hearts to think upon love
Upon love as its meant to be
To do unto others in a godly manner
As you would have them do unto you
God's Holy Spirit working within us
This is what love calls us to do

We can't know love without some other 
Some other to express our love too
It just takes one small act of kindness
To address what love has in view
O how I love love in action 
It has a huge part of making my day
Lord help me to love others
By showing them the heavenly way...

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
