Lord Help Us To Live Out
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Lord Help Us To Live Out

Lord help us to live out the life within
That we might glorify Thee
Dead to the world and aĺl of its charms
Because of Calvary
New creatures in Christ are we now
Because of His Resurrection
The soul's of lost men our heartfelt burden
That they might be born again

Once having the taste of the forgiveness for sin
There's nothing more soul satisfying
Than having God as our heavenly Father 
And the blessings of grace He's supplying
There is an abundant life... hallelujah!
This life in the Crucified One
Who has promised to keep us in His arms of love
Until our earthly journey is done

Yes hallelujah my Redeemer lives
He is praise God my everlasting hope
And when what's happening all around us seeks to dim it
Our resounding answer within us cries... Nope!
Not on my watch says the believer
For I know in whom I have believed
This is the best life this side of Heaven
I knew of its power when this saving faith I received

Lord help us to catch Your flame of compassion
May it take hold in the lives that we live
Not holding back our knowledge of Jesus
But much more the willing its message to give
For it's the greatest of news for men everyday
No matter the news most men crave
For hallelujah it's sponsored by God
Hallelujah the Lord Jesus SAVES...
Hallelujah the Lord Jesus SAVES!!!

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
