He Paid My Restitution Fee
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

He Paid My Restitution Fee

He paid my restitution fee
When I was sins offender
And when the penalty for sin was my death
Praise God He became death's Defender
Satan lost his power over me
When I believed that on the Cross
My Saviour shed His precious blood
To redeem me from eternal loss

Now my hope of glory
Hallelujah is God's dear Son
That name that is above all names
The Sole provider of Salvation
Who's life revealed an empty tomb
He's arisen...He's alive!!
While Satan may seek to taunt us still
Praise God Christ conquered the grave!

He paid my restitution fee
Now I'm clothed in God's Righteousness
No good works of mine obtained any grace
But through Christ I was totally blessed
Praise God for the understanding of repentance
For it brought me to my knees
Where I called upon the God of Heaven
Who always hears and always sees! 

And His Holy Spirit became the first Witness
To the decision in my heart
And I knew for sure one hundred percent
That the Lord would never depart
And a new found joy enveloped me
I had a song of a soul set free
Praise God I was saved by grace through faith
Amen He paid my restitution fee...

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
