I Have Thankgiving Praises

I Have Thanksgiving Praises

I have thanksgiving praises
To You my God alone
For every breath that I take
Comes from You alone
When You breathed into Adam
And he became a man
That's a perfect reason for thankfulness
My God...the great I am

You pour out untold blessings
Upn people everyday
Yet some think them unimportant
Not knowing You send them our way
Your grace in our protection
Not willing that any should perish
But that all men may come to know Christ
And His love for them to cherish

Thanksgivings for my Savation
For when I repented and believed
You made Yourself known by Your Spirit
Which upon my belief I received
Now thank You heavenly Father
There's so much I'm thankful for
I love You in a new found way
Like I've never loved before...

I recognize Your workings
In this new heart of mine
It draws me to the living water
That satisfies every time
Now I'm daily rejoicing
For I've found true joy in Thee
And am forever mindful of
The Cross of Calvary

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
