“Come near to God and He will come near to you” (James 4:8 NIV). This album was dated 1966, when the Bill Gaither Trio was becoming known as a spiritual force in gospel music. Danny, Gloria and Bill praised the Lord in song, perhaps not realizing the great ministry that lay ahead of them.

WHEN GOD SEEMS SO NEAR
Bill and Gloria Gaither

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
There are times when I cannot feel His presence,
When the clouds of doubt obscure the Master’s smile
But when I’m still enough to hear his gentle whisper
Then I know my Lord has been there all the while
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
There are times when I cannot feel His presence,
When the clouds of doubt obscure the Master’s smile
But when I’m still enough to hear his gentle whisper
Then I know my Lord has been there all the while
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
These are the times when God seems so near.
