In The Appetite Of Christ's Suffering

In the appetite of Christ's suffering
He tasted death for every man
He died the Just for the unjust
Such was the love of Him
His mission was accomplished
He was obedient to God's will
When He cried out "It is finished!"
What a victory He instilled!

The Cross was just the bliss of it
For the joy that was set before Him
He knew in three days He would rise again
And become our Resurrection
He did life in the grandest of style
For He was the true Life-giver 
Praise God that Christ can raise the dead
What joy for each believer!

With His Holy Spirit as my portion
I'm sealed for eternity
The love of God is greater far
Than any love could be
I'm surrounded by God's presence
He's living without and within
He made a deep impression on my life
When He forgave me of my sin...

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
