I Know The Joy

I Know The Joy

I know the joy of thankfulness
Praise God I've been redeemed
What a release came when I repented of sin
And I became born again
The Spirit brought it home to me
I was saved by the blood of the Lamb
I now had Christ and I had the Father
His child now forever I am

I cannot explain for the life of me
The joy...that then took hold
Nor the peace that flooded my heart
As the Spirit Himself took control
I knew I was a new creature in Christ
His holiness now I felt
My sins were forgiven...every last one
And His grace was now with me for help

I now knew the joy that was set before Him
For I... a lost sinner came
For it was for me that He endured the Cross
All praise be unto His name
Jesus...precious Jesus Christ
That name that is above all others
None other name has such power to save
Hallelujah...Hallelujah my brothers!

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
