I'm Kept In The Love Of God

I'm Kept In The Love Of God

I'm kept in the love of God
Surrounded by His grace
Experiencing the joy of the Lord
And experiencing as well His peace
The marvel of His so great a Salvation
His full forgiveness for sin
My heart has a flood of appreciation
And I say...hallelujah amen!

Hallelujah amen for that Saviour
The kindly Shepherd is He
Who is always on the lookout for
The struggling and the lonely
His Spirit as His aversary
Helping us in life's fray
Leading through the Word of God
To help others find their way

What a search and rescue team
Saving the soul's of men
Delivering them from the plight of Hell
And preparing their hearts for Heaven
Furnishing our emotional being
With a new standard of righteousness 
With the Holy Spirit living within
This is repentance's plus!

O that eyes might really see
That ears might really hear
There is a loving Heavenly Father
Who's seeking that you might draw near
For from a Cross at Calvary
Earth received its most innocent blood
As a final proof of redemption's power
That keeps us in the love of God...

Close to the heart of Jesus Christ 
I'm kept in the love of God
I have a new purpose now for living
Because of His shed blood
My sin met its unravellings
When the Lord took its full penalty
And wrapped His love around my heart
Hallelujah for 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
