THERE'S A Hymn
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Gary James Smith
Other Poems by Gary James Smith


THERE'S A HYMN

There's a hymn that will touch my heart at times
And bring it to it's knees
Take me immediately to the Throne of Grace
Where I offer God my PRAISE
And words that cannot be uttered
But emotionally packed by faith
Take me back to Calvary's Cross
And then to the empty grave

What glorious Resurrection power
That raised Christ from the dead
And offers hope of eternal life
From Him who's our Risen Head
Redeemed and we love to proclaim it
We do it in Word and in song
And some hymns express it so wondrously well
I can sing them all the day long

A humming of hymns is a pleasure
From a heart of a soul that's been freed
The Spiritual songs are a treasure
Who knows them are blessed indeed
The joy of the Lord is our strength
We rejoice...we rejoice evermore
This... just a foretaste of heaven
Praise God these BLEST hymns I adore!

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
