Be Swift To Glorify God

Be Swift To Glorify God

Be swift to glorify God
Be generous in your praise
For the One who's given you  your very breath
Sustains your life always
Magnificent are His tokens of grace
Hallelujah is my expression
I love to daily glorify my God
And that's my honest confession

May Jesus Christ be praised
My eternal life Provider
Who brought forgiveness for my sin
And now He lives inside here
I idolize none other
How great...how great is our God
I praise Him for the power of His Word
And for the day that I understood

God was merciful to me a sinner
When I was lost and had gone astray
He drew me to Himself by love
Then He showed me that He was the Way
I cannot but help to praise Him
For He's my Spiritual Pacifier
For when I think on what great things that He has done for me
My praises shall never expire!!!

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
