Lord You Designated A Cross
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Lord You Designated A Cross

Lord You designated a Cross
To be Your crowning day
Even though it was a crown of thorns
That they crowned You with that day
No more precious blood was ever shed
Thank you thank you Lord
Fulfilling scripture prophetically
According to Your Word

Without one sin held to Your account
The sinless Son of God
Yet in love dying for us
Still that record has stood
Every voice remains in silence
As to the guilt of our own 
God bearing witness to the innerman
Of the sins that we have done

Forgiveness as an offering
A full supply of grace
To bring a sinner to Salvation
When repentance has taken place
Yes His Kingdom will come
In the fulness of God's glory
When Christ shall reign as King of kings
Hallelujah what a story!

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
