How Wonderful

How Wonderful

How wonderful when praise squeezes out
Of a life that's truly changed
When repentance has done its inner work
And a life is rearranged
To witness it is a wonder
No wonder Angel's rejoice
When finally a victim of sin
Expresses Heaven's voice

And glory Hallelujah 
Becomes so commonplace 
When saved sinner's give recognition of
How they have been saved by God's grace
Smiles are now not forced one's 
For we have a genuine joy
And deep is the depth of His forgiveness
Why not?!!...It's God's alloy!

The Cross has wrought sure righteousness
Christ did all the work
And took the pain that I deserved
From my sin-debt He did not shirk
Me hold back praises...???!!!
Not a chance for that!
For I know one day that when I leave here
I'll be going to where He's at!

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
