Lord I Thank You For

Lord I thank You for the saving grace
Of my Saviour Jesus Christ
Who has never had a diminishing effect
In the worthiness of His Sacrifice
For still great and greatly to be praised
Is that Great I Am
Praise God the good Shepherd of our faith
Hallelujah for that Lamb!

Who can still wash as white as snow
By the cleansing power of His shed blood
Every sin that stained our very nature
And separated us from God
Now a new relationship have we
Those of us who know the Lord
We have praise God...a Heavenly Father
Through Jesus Christ the Lord...

Closer now then ever before
I'm encompassed by His love
And I'm drawn nearer every day
In thankfulness to my God
For in spite of the tally of my sin
He took the whole lot of it
And dismissed the power that it had over me
Praise God His grace covered it!

His love expressed at Calvary
Through the shedding of His own blood
Procured the way for my Salvation
Hallelujah praise the Lord!
His Resurrection reeks of Royalty...
Praise God it's my chief delight
For the King of kings is my Rescuer.
And has gifted me...eternal life!!!

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
