Praise God For Instrumental Hymns

Praise God for instrumental hymns
That are wrapped around our heart
As the instruments do their awesome thing
Praise God the joybells start
The Holy Spirit brings them home
The factor of recognition 
These old hymns that we love so dear
Our Salvation ignitions!

The hymns have become part and parcel
Of our personhood
And... have kept us in good stead
As to the refreshment of God's Word
So many ways to praise the Lord
In our worshipping
But none I think can come any closer
Then when we begin to sing

There's just something about singing to the Lord
That can only be expressed in song
And when our heart's beat harmoniously
Seems like the angels are joining along
The Lord Jesus loved hymn singing
It's recorded in the Word
It was one of the last things that He did on earth
Before He fulfilled His Word!

So sing along dear brother
To the songs of the soul set free
Sing them from a transformed heart
Praise God for Calvary
For saving faith produces music
Us saints can attest to that
It has such an instrumental flavour
Praise God for Salvation's fact!

Praise God and 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
