The Presence of Your Love

THE PRESENCE OF YOUR LOVE 


 


The presence of your love O Lord


Gives peace within my soul


All turbulence must take a leave


When Thou art in control


In prayer and meditation


A steadfastness of love


Bestowed upon Your children


I thank You O my God


 


Jesus You have given me


A taste of Who You are


With outpouring forgiveness 


That covers every scar


A loved received providentually 


What grace...You drew me in


To make my soul a benefactor


Of victory over sin


 


Now each day I'm living


I'm living it Lord with Thee


Never again in loneliness 


But blessed ecstasy 


Waiting upon that coming day


When I'm taken up above


To be in Thy very presence


The presence of Your love

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
