There's Power In Praying

There's Power In Praying 

There's power in praying in that name
That gives us eternal life
That offers pardon for our sin
The cessation of our strife
Who bore the brunt of Calvary
Hanging on an old rugged Cross
Who alone can break the heart of stone
And give His Holy Spirit to us

I do not pray to feeble men
Who haven't risen from the dead
Who have not shown love to the degree
That the Lord our Saviour did
Who even loved His enemies
And at His weakest moment said
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do"
In Him my prayer life is laid

He went alone to a garden to pray
On many an occasion we read
To be alone with His Father God
Such was His intimate need
To express what was on His heart
For the world that He came to save
Praise God for the example that He set 
Hallelujah Lord Jesus prayed!

There's still power in that name
Under Heaven given amongst men
For there's Salvation in none other
Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!
If He who made this whole wide world
And gives us the grace to live each day
Has the power to sustain it still
Then praise God I shall pray!!!

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
