Quickened By The Spirit Of God

Quickened By The Spirit Of God

Quickened by the Spirit of God
Alive in Christ are we
We've tasted of the Heavenly manna
And are prepared for eternity
Once in bondage to the fear of death
The Resurrection bids it flee
We're anchored in the Cross of Christ
Praise God for Calvary!

"It is finished"...the Victor's cry
Christ's final work was done
He took God's wrath for all of our sin
Hallelujah for the Son...
Father forgive them they know not what they do
Such a compassionate heart
Always at hand to offer forgiveness
And wonderful grace to impart...

Quickened by the Spirit of God
I've felt His healing touch
His love expressed His willingness 
To show He loved me such
When I repented of my sin
He washed my guilt away
The fear of death took a permanent hiatus 
What a grand and a glorious day!

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
