“IT IS I”


 


Surprise, surprise, guess Who’s here


You are never going to believe


If I hadn’t seen Him with my very own eyes


I would have been deceived


 


There they were, the nail printed hands


The feet and wounded side


When He broke bread and ate the fish


My heart melted and stirred inside


 


Lord, Lord is that You I cried


He answered, “Peace, be of good cheer.”


“It is I, I have arisen


It ‘tis God that you see here.


 


Haven’t I told you, if you’ve seen me


You’ve also seen the Father


Now go and tell, tell the others


Tell your sons and daughters


 


Jesus Christ is alive and


 From the grave has risen


No longer can they, walk in darkness,


I have given them vision

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
