Pay It Forward

God gave pay it forward love
In the person of His Son
Who shed His blood at Calvary
And has our Victory won
Though He counted out the cost
The payment was His death
For the joy that was set before Him
He gave of His final breath

Now love's extended to mankind
No matter what his race
His blood the sufficient sacrifice
Praise God for amazing grace
Forgiveness and new life begins
On repentance for our sin
Pay it forward love received
By faith and trust in Him

Now a debt to Him I owe
And it shall be satisfied
Living a life of joyful faith
By the grace He has supplied
And doing my utmost day by day
God leading me such by prayer
To extent to others paid forward love
And show them how much He cares!

Have you accepted His purchase price
So you can be redeemed
Or do you still think lightly of
That name that is esteemed
Catch your breath...the one He gives
A gift from God above
And resurrect your thinking about
God's pay it forward love!

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
