First You Have To Learm To Love

First You Have To Learn To Love

First you have to learn to love
Before you can learn to give
Añd receiving love as a gift from God
Will give you a new reason to live
For when love is consumed as a fine rose blossom
Its fragrance becomes divine
As the Father of forgiveness covers our sin
And sets our heart's ablaze for mankind...

For in the atmosphere of the spiritual realm
Love finds its healing place
And sends out signals of significance
To administer God's amazing grace
And the healing balm of Gilead
Once received at Calvary
Is fueled by the extension of the giving of love
Through the songs of a soul set free!...

And the greatest of music now to our ears
Praise God how sweet it is
Is of the love of God found in the Lord Jesus Christ
Hallelujah for the love Jesus gives!
And from the deepest core of my being 
Flows the songs of God's deliverance
For His love found a way to rescue me
That I might experience true love's romance!!!

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
