My Excitement
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith

My Excitement 

My excitement is in the Lord Jesus Christ
The true lover of my soul
Who went all out to bring me in
And to within make me feel whole
He is my hallelujah 
For He gives me cause to sing
For the praises of sin's forgiveness
Christ is my everything!

He's made my calling and election sure
For I have a faith filled foundation
Based upon the blessed Word of God
The authorship of my Salvation
What a loving Heavenly Father
For the gifting of a Son
To raise us up to live victorious
How more exciting can it be than in believing on that One

To be saved and to know it...hallelujah!
Saved by the blood of the Lamb
For nothing can wash away sin such as that.  
Hallelujah I'm saved!...I am!
No good works of mine obtained it
I just had to repent and believe
I humbled myself before Him as a child
And multiplied grace I received!

Now I'm so excited each day
My reason for being is this
I've experienced the true depths of God's love
And it's found in the Lord Jesus Christ
Please don't scoff at Salvation
For there is no greater love
Than what the Father has bestowed upon us
By sending His Christ from above

Down from Heaven's glory He came
To help us to taste and to see
That there's not a Friend like the lowly Jesus
And it is still so exciting to me!
Who took all the debt of my sin
And carried it to an old rugged Cross
And sent me back...It's been paid in full!
Hallelujah Christ died for us!

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
