Christ Was Raised To Be Praised

Christ Was Raised To Be Praised

Christ was raised to be praised
Hallelujah for the Lamb
Who went to the Cross for my sin
That I might be born again
Through the power of His shed blood
My sins were washed away
And He opened the floodgates of grace for me
That day that at Calvary

It's so easy to praise Him now
My life and my Resurrection 
Translating me from the kingdom of darkness to light
He's a Saviour of perfection
Though not one sin was found in Him
He took on mine as His own
And withstood the wrath of Almighty God
Hallelujah for that Son!

Christ was raised to be praised
What a great God and my Saviour
Who came seeking and to save the lost
Nowhere else was found such a favor 
Eternal life as my present possession 
I'm saved and I know it amen!
When I repented of my sin and believed
I found a blessed hope in Him...
Hallelujah Christ was raised to be praised!!!

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
