How Blessed To Know


How blessed to know the Word of God
And the power of it
Once I never knew its presence
But now praise God I love it
It took me to a precious place
A place called Calvary
Where I saw the death of my Saviour
The One who died for me

The Holy Spirit brought it home
The sinner that I was
And hallelujah, praise the Lord
Christ died for sin for us
I saw it clearly in the Word
That Christ died for sinful men
I repented and believed
And praise God I became born again!

O the change that transpired
Within my weary soul
I knew the love of God had found me
And made me completely whole
Talk about a radical change
For sure I can testify
That Jesus Christ has made the difference
Between my God and I!

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
