I've Encountered

I'VE ENCOUNTERED
 
Sent from Samsung Mobile
I've encountered my heavenly Father
His love encompasses me
My sin revealed in all its horror
But His grace was sufficient for me
What wondrous love He has poured out
And placed all the wrath I deserved
Upon the back of His own Son
Prophetically in scripture preserved
 
Though heaven and earth may pass away
There's no greater power than He
There is none other above our God
Revealed in history
The Word become flesh Incarnate
That Word that  spoke creation into being
That Word that gives life everlasting
That Word is Lord Jesus our King
 
An awareness I never thought possible
Lord Jesus now living in me
His Holy Spirit my Comforter
Showing things of Christ to me
Becoming flesh and dwelling amongst us
I barely can take it in
That God Himself became a man
Forgiving me for my sin
 
I thank You my heavenly Father
Such love You have given to men
To provide so great a Salvation
Through Jesus the great I Am
When sin brought its darkest hour
Old Satan had to take flight
For out of the blood bought Redemption for man
Came Jesus our Glorious Light!
 
 
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
