St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD, Smith drew motivation within the liturgical tracks and “folk people” which were section of his environment and was specifically intrigued from the pairing of scripture to music. Still, he previously little good fortune with song web publishers until his “Our God Reigns” was popularized by journeying evangelists as well as the song’s popularity spread throughout the world. Having exchanged teaching Latin for home painting, Smith grew right into a prolific article writer, with over 160 tracks to his credit. Liberating his first recording at age 58, 2001’s Deep Phone calls to Deep discovered Smith running right through an eclectic group of rock-based gospel that could not have got much in keeping using the music of his offspring but demonstrated an identical, if quite in different ways communicated, spiritual fervor.
