How Wonderful To Embrace

How Wonderful To Embrace

How wonderful to embrace
The gifting of God's love
How He sent His only begotten Son
To shed His own precious blood
On our behalf He was Crucified 
Taking the death penalty for our sin
But rose again later after three days in triumph
To provide our Salvation through Him!

Now hallelujah what a Saviour!
Is the blest song of the redeemed
For no more joyful people can ever be found
Than in those who are born again
For for sin's forgiveness is our hallelujah 
All praise be to that Lamb
Who undertook to win us for glory!
Hallelujah for the Great I Am!

Now my past...present...and future
Have been dealt with at Calvary
Once I was lost and bound in sin
But Jesus has set me free!
I've tasted of the fruits of forgiveness
And there's nothing that can compare
One day I'll be saying goodbye to this world
And I'll be meeting Christ in the air!!!

Hallelujah what a Saviour
I can hear the choir singing it well
For praise God! Glory! Hallelujah!
We've been delivered from Hell
And every soul who has repented of sin
Gets to sing that glorious refrain
Hallelujah what a Saviour
That name that's above every name!

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
