The Tombstone

The Tombstone

The Tombstone was His benchmark
He's not here He has risen
The angels testified as such
What a most glorious message given
If anything could ever revive a heart
That lived with the assurance of His death
It was the words..." He is risen!...
He has risen from the dead! "

That was enough for Mary to hear
To kickstart Resurrection day
Off she ran to tell the disciples
They had to hear it today 
And sure enough upon their arrival
As they entered the empty tomb
They saw His linen clothes there folded
And their soul's said good-bye to doom!

Then... to meet the Master Himself 
You can well imagine what jubilation
That stirred up within their hearts
Amen for our so great
 Salvation!
To have death now just as a sting
But the grave as our victory
Hallelujah for the Cross of Jesus Christ!
And for Christ now living in me!

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
