The Victory we Have in Christ
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

The Victory we Have in Christ

The victory we have in Christ
O how sweet it is
We can have such fellowship
With the One who lives
And daily walking in the light
Our hearts are filled with joy
And we can face each trial now
With His strength to employ

For God is with us praise the Lord
We are never alone
His Spirit as our constant Companion
Will lead us safely home
And to the very depths of me
I know I am His child
This my satisfaction is
Though Satan will beguile

But victory blest assurance is mine
I know whom I've believed
That precious eternal Son of God
Who lives!...He ever lives!
Though death comes stalking me each day
I do not fear it's threat
For I know my Redeemer lives
And He...will not forget

That I am His and He is mine
A bonding so secure
I am safe in my Father's hands
All the while I'm here
Yes O how sweet how sweet it is
He is my Victory
And day by day I can walk in the Light
Because He died for me!

So thank you Father from a heart
That knows the price of sin
And that You gave Your only begotten
So we could be "born again"
And that deep, deep love of Jesus
That washes over me
That cleansing power of His blood
Still gives me Victory!

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
