Bless You Lord

Bless You Lord for saving faith
It's The icing on our cake
We enter into a realm of glory
When Salvation has taken place
We never knew forgiveness's grace
The joy that repentance brings
But when praise God we trusted in Christ 
There's a song that freedom brings

For sin is a weight unbearable
It drags us through the mud
But praise God we can be lifted from the miry clay
When we place our faith in God
Hallelujah He's the life giving One
Who rose again from the dead
Who gives us a hope of eternal life
For He is our living Head

A new life in Christ...hallelujah!
For Christ now liveth in me
My Creator has become my Saviour
Hallelujah for Calvary!
Satan thought for sure that he had doomed us
As he watched the Lord shed His blood
But He was more than surprised three days later
When before His disciples He stood

Now greater.is He that's within us
Than he that is in the world
For the sole Supplier of mercy and grace
Hallelujah is Christ the Lord!
And it's so easy to magnify
The true Lover of our soul
For the One who personified love to the max
Is most capable of making you whole...

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
