The Lord Is Near At Hand

The Lord Is Near At Hand

The Lord is near at hand
To give amazing grace
To bring forgiveness to our heart's 
When repentance has taken place
To distribute true rejoicing
With the song of a soul set free
Which will honestly now give thanksgiving to God
Being released from sins authority

Sin shall be no more!
Christ shall dismiss it for good one day
For Heaven is God's place of Holiness
Where sinners can not stay
Praise God for our Saviour Jesus
Who went to an old rugged Cross
To be Crucified for the debt of our sin
None of His own...but praise God for us!

To know He's near at hand
He's as close as the breath that you breathe
He's so willing to save you now
With grace for your sins relief
Come and know forgiveness today
It's God's healing balm for the soul
Bow to your knees in your heart today
And let Jesus take full control...

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
