Redemption's Plan
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

REDEMPTION'S PLAN

The long awaited redemption's plan
Had its beginning in Bethlehem
Where the God of heaven and earth
Came Himself in lowly birth
Humbled Himself to say the least
To offer us a wedding feast
When we receive the Great I Am
Reservations at (The marriage supper of the Lamb)

And feast we do in Him each day
Who is the life, the truth, the way
Above all others, what reconciliation
In our God of so Great Salvation
Who took our sin and all its pain
To bring us everlasting gain
How significant was that cost
That placed Him on a cruel cross

He bore it all for you and me
That we could live eternally
And have that victory over sin
In our daily walk with Him
To show the world His saving grace
He put a smile upon our face
What joy that dwells now within
The heart that is forgiven from sin

How we love to tell the story
Of our God and all His glory
Who stooped down to earth to save
And rose again up from the grave
Live I say, my brother live
Take the salvation that He gives
Have a welcome at the Throne
Repent and to the Saviour come

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
