There's A Rich Reward

There's A Rich Reward

There's a rich reward in knowing the Lord
That money cannot buy
It's a step of faith that gets you in
To the Lord's most bountiful supply
Peace and joy beyond compare
And a hope that endures forever
With the Lord Himself now living within
Sealed with the Spirit of favour

He paid with His own precious blood
He paid our sins total cost
He loved us still though we went astray
And thought lightly of the Cross
Heaven bent on saving our soul
He became sins Sacrifice
And rose again after three days dead
His Resurrection become our suffice

My forgiveness was worth it all
So thankful that I believed
That day I repented of my sin
And by faith Lord Jesus received
To any soul who hasn't found
The great blessings in God's Word
Be sure to check it out for yourself
In doing so there's a rich reward!

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
