In Principle And In Practice

In principle and in practice
The truth keeps marching on
And since it is our freedom Master
Is well deserves a song
So I sing a song about Jesus
Who gives the greatest of liberty
For He is the truth personified
If you know Him then you'll be free!

Sin is a hard task master
It's bent on bringing you down
Whenever you wrestle with it in your life
It usually walks away with the crown
But there's One who took sin to judgement
And nailed it to a an old rugged Cross
Hanging as a King with a crown of thorns
That's what truth did for us!

Truth bore the burden of Calvary
Yet honored it still with His word
Destroy this temple and in three days
I'll be alive again...be assured!
And truth became Resurrected!
Praise God for His Sacrifice for us
A fine demonstration of immortality...
In principle and in practice!

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
