Lord We Can't Escape Your Presence

Lord We Can't Escape Your Presence

Lord we can't escape Your presence
For You are Lord of all
You have made both Heaven and earth
Praise God Emmanuel !
To become our personal Saviour
You have given Your written Word
To explain in the most simplest of terms
How we can come and know the Lord

And those of us who've found You
Praise God being led by the Spirit
Have found a most sufficient faith
Because we had the faith to believe it
And every heart clothed with forgiveness
Knows of the Saviour's healing balm
And grace upon grace fills our lives
As we rejoicingly travel along

Praise God we know that we know You
We never seek for another
Your Holy Spirit our faithful Witness
In Your righteousness we are covered
Praise God for the cleansing blood
That washes white as snow
Sin has met the sinless Master
Who can make the vilest whole!

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
