Living For A Thousand Years

Living for a thousand years
That is really peanuts to me
For because I've repented and believed on Christ
Praise God I'll live eternally
Now that's the hope that resides inside
Hallelujah for the Lamb
Who has the power to give forgiveness
Because He's the Great I Am!!!

What joy is hidden from most eyes 
For I'm walking with the Spirit
That raised Lord Jesus from the dead
Praise God I wish you'd hear it
For nothing satisfies like Him 
Who took the sinners place
And offers back a complete Redemption
Hallelujah for such grace!

I never knew all the while
That He was seeking for me
And yearning that I might find His Salvation
And enjoy life abundantly
Yes there is a highway to Heaven
Through Christ who is the Door
He is sins relief...He gives grace in grief
Who could ask for anything more...

O I'm satisfied in Jesus
I've found true riches in Him
Though by earthly standards I may seem a pauper
Hallelujah I'll still praise Him
For it's through the blood I am redeemed
And my spirit testifies
If I never had anything else but Jesus
Praise God I'd be satisfied!!!

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
