Demonstrate The Reality Of Repentance

Demonstrate the reality of repentance 
The change that God has made in you
Your new desire to serve the Lord
And to bid old sin adieu...
To give to the Lord a heart of thanksgiving
As a token of His saving grace
Magnifying His name above all names
For the transaction that has taken place

Walking now in newness of life
For we have been redeemed
Blood bought and sanctified 
Set apart for the work that God deems
Looking only to Jesus
Our Shepherd in our time of need
Fellowshiping with Christ by the Holy Spirit
Seeking for souls now indeed

For He who has raised us up from the dead
To walk in newness of life
Has given us a blessed...blessed hope
To deal with our grief and our strife
Hallelujah what a Saviour
Who went to the Cross for our sin
A change in behaviour is a sure token
Of the work that He's done within...

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
