God's Attributes
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

GOD'S ATTRIBUTES 


 


God's attributes are unchanging 


Praise God our God is good


His mercy is unceasing 


Yet often misunderstood 


He's not a God of idleness 


Nor sits with folded hands


But takes great pleasure in seeking 


Those obeying His commands


 


His grace to all earth's peoples 


Unrecognized as such


Yet crosses on church steeples


Prove His personal touch


The heaven's cannot contain Him


Yet to this earth He came


And brought Salvation in the Son


O praise His glorious name


 


He wants us all to love Him


And that with all our heart 


Today would be a great day


For that new change to start


Behold that God of wonder


Who in spite of all our sin


With longsuffering is patiently waiting 


For souls to let Him in


 


So to that cross of Calvary 


Behold Him...God the Son


The Creator and earth's Redeemer 


That blessed Holy One


With love that bore our burdens 


And let men do Him in


He did it all for our sake


Repent and trust in Him


 


O Holy Ghost of heaven 


Reach the hearts of men


And draw them unto Jesus 


To be there " born again "


For in that blessed Saviour 


Is life that's from above


Your Word that never faileth


Has shown to us this love

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
