The prolific teacher and Atlanta-based Senior Pastor deliver “Your Presence Is A Gift” digitally on all streaming platforms. The beautiful ballad will precede a full album due later this year. Speaking to the goodness of always having God in our life “Your Presence Is A Gift” showcases Smith’s deep, resonant vocals and establishes him as a bonafide contemporary Gospel artist
“During a major time of grief, bereavement & loss, I had to rely on God’s presence totally,” said Smith. “I have always preached about it … multiple deaths made me now live it! Now I understand that even when we have to deal with the absence of those closest to us God’s presence is a gift.”
An ardent supporter of Gospel music, Smith, has regularly given gospel artists and worship leaders from across the country a platform at The House of Hope, and he is now excited to share his music ministry. The song is the first release under the newly established Pebble Street Records, which will be home to his forthcoming debut album and future projects from the House of Hope music family. Based in Atlanta, Smith continues to build his multi-media brand that includes film, television, content production, books, and music.
“I am deeply excited to launch my label Pebble Street Records,” Smith said. “It is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, an opportunity to pay tribute to my musical roots and also to allow other gifted people to produce music! God gets the glory.”
“Your Presence Is A Gift” is available now on all digital platforms.
