Lord Your Word Is An Eye Opener

Lord Your Word Is An Eye Opener

Lord Your Word is an eye opener 
As to the fact of our heart's involvement with sin
And leaves us all guilty before You
Such is the condition of men
Your Word has to come like a hammer
And shatter our righteousness
And bring us to our need of repentance
Before You can ever bless

For the pride of men is a stumbling block
That must be overcome
And men must humble themselves as a child
To own Heaven as their Home
For our eternal destination was sealed
Through the work upon Calvary's Cross
For whomsoever believes on Christ
That soul is never lost!

Death put a stoppage to living
Funerals attest to that fact
But when Lord Jesus arose from the grave
Hallelujah He performed an act
Such as was never seen before
He raised Himself from the dead
Now praise God we can bow the knee
To the Lord Jesus our living Head!

Is there a cause for rejoicing?
Hallelujah praise God there is
For still there's that message of wonderful hope
He lives!...my Saviour lives!
Who would know His Word could be such a blessing 
It was a real eye opener to me
For I found that the way of the Cross leads Home
Hallelujah for Calvary!

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
