We Have An Overcomer

We Have An Overcomer

We have an Overcomer 
Who's not afraid of the undertaker 
For He can make us alive again
In His power as our Creator
Though Satan caused sins catastrophe
God brought Salvation to the plate
And through the shed blood of Jesus Christ
We can come to the mercy seat

Mercy...grace...abundant free!
Upon our true believing 
Every repentant heart will find
No gift that's better receiving
Christ in me the hope of glory
Hallelujah for that name
That is above any other one
In Heaven and earth's domain

Conversion by being born again
Just as Jesus commanded
Except a man be born again
He's outside of Heaven and stranded
O Rock of Ages faith have I
Established on God's creation
For whomsoever believes on the Son
Receives a so great Salvation!

Happy am I a sinner saved
I don't take that statement lightly
For I've been saved by the grace of God
Himself!...The Lord God Almighty
So great cause for praise have I
I'm a bonafide Child of God
The Bible as my foundational record
For I've believed it...every Word!

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
