The Very Heart Of The Matter Of The

The Very Heart Of The Matter Of The Heart

The very heart of the matter of the heart
Is our Lord Jesus Christ
Who longs to be our chief Desire
And the centre of our life
He loves us with an everlasting love
Nowhere else is such a love found
Who knows the passions of each heart
Whether it is free or bound

Praise God for the liberating power
Found in the grace of God
That can turn a life right side up
When it's focused on His Word
For the Word that informs us of our sin
Can bring us such transformation
When we by faith repent of our sin
And receive Christ's so great Salvation!

Hallelujah what a Saviour
That forgives with such a love
That penetrates to the very core of our being
Such is the grace of God
And that His awareness of our life situations
For He knows us through and through
Can give us the comfort that in each trial
Our God will see us through!

So what is keeping you from Christ
The true lover of your soul
Who has the highest regard for you
And your eternal destiny as His goal
Don't neglect a so great Salvation
Procured for you through Jesus shed blood
But today put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
And come know the love of God!

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
