It Takes A Place Of Silence

It Takes A Place Of Silence

It takes a place of silence
To hear the voice of God
May the Spirit draw you to it now
Be still and know that I am God
Are words found in the scriptures
Begin with meditation and He will reach you somehow

His Spirit waiting patiently 
To enter in the heart
When the truth makes faith's application
Our acknowledgement of sin
And that it is against God
Prepares the heart to receive so great Salvation


Come into His presence
The Just and Holy one
Meet the Father by believing on the Son
Let the Holy Spirit
Give witness to your heart
His still small voice you've heard
and faith's victory has begun!

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
