It Is Finished It Is Done
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


I
 
It is finished it is done
Praise the Lord for God's dear Son
Whose sacrifice at Calvary
Paid our debt sufficiently
With thorn-crowned brow, nail pierced hands
Feet fastened fast by sins demands
He took it all to yonder grave
Then rose again the lost to save
 
The gospel still rings strong and true
Jesus will deliver you
If you repent and turn from sin
The Holy Spirit enters in
Giving truthful verification
Of receiving God's salvation
Seek God's kingdom and righteousness
You will then be truly blessed
 
Know forgiveness by being forgiven
Forgiveness becomes a way of living
Leave off resentment, anger, pride
Let the peace of God abide
Joy will rule your heart at length
It will become a steadfast strength
Life will take up worthwhile living
If you by God have been forgiven.
 
What a gospel we have to release
That brings man to his greatest peace
To be at one with His Maker
Before he meets the undertaker
Our foremost mission at any cost
To try to seek and save the lost
Lord place that burden on each soul
That has by Jesus been made whole.

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
