Forgiveness Is A Great Gift

Forgiveness Is A Great Gift

Forgiveness is a great gift
With no activation fee
For the cost for the use thereof
Was paid for at Calvary
Where love poured out exponentially
Praise God what love of God
Forgiveness that prays even for it's enemies
That's only divinely understood

And love poured out at Calvary
Has changed so many lives
When repentance takes place and faith's received
We're in for a real surprise
For God's great love through His Spirit
Takes up residence
And we're no longer who we once we're
With sin no more a romance

For we've been freed from sin's dread power
And what a relief that it is
The difference between day and night
A real separation of bliss
For joy that comes really out of this world
Has become a chief delight
Having forgiveness is a great gift
With Jesus as my new Life!

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
