There's Nothing

There's Nothing

There's nothing of greater consequence
Then the saving of our soul
For Satan has left an indelible mark on it
The wages of sin is death
We all have earned our due
Our nature eternally tainted because of it

But praise God to our rescue
Came our Saviour Jesus Christ
Who paid our sin debt fully thank you Lord
And offers us an eternal presence
In the very courts of Heaven
Secured by the faithfulness of His Word

High and Holy lifted up
Like Him there is none other
His name above every name that's named
Prince of peace and mighty God
Counselor and Everlasting Father
Yesterday, today, forever, He's always the same

Repent or you will perish
Jesus gives us warning
Sin is not taken lightly by our Lord
He shed His precious blood
To offer us new life
Salvation through His name by the Word

Find your faith embracing
Such a loving One
Who took our sin and nailed it to a Cross
Look today to the Lamb of God
Earth's most Worthy Sacrifice
Don't leave it off and suffer eternal loss!

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
