Have I Got Reason

Have I Got Reason

Have I got reason to praise Him?
You betcha praise God I have
The number one reason!...I've been redeemed!
O saved and I'm glad!
All my accumulation of sin
And the weight that I felt on my back
Was gone!...gone!
when I trusted in Jesus
For joy there was definitely no lack

He had become my Salvation
Hallelujah I repented of sin
God took care of replacing  Himself
With the lack of peace I felt within
Now I knew what " it is finished" meant
O the grace of His sufficiency 
His blood alone has the power to cleanse
And it washes over me

His Resurrection power is awesome
Death has no holding power there
For one day up from the grave He arose
And one day ascended into the air
That name that is above all names
Upon whom one day every tongue shall confess
May you come to know Him as your Saviour my friend
Where your life can be truly blessed

He's not a fallacy my friend
But He's truth with an all get out
For every soul that trusts in Him
Cannot but help to shout!
Hallelujah what a Saviour!
Who alone can deal with sin
For on an old rugged cross one day
He made it  subservant to Him!

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
