But Wait

Date:

When I first came here unto you,
I spoke not of the mystery;
Because it is hard to construe,
As being ancient history.

As if it might be of some kind,
A brilliant message or wisdom;
And be confusing to your mind,
About the heavenly kingdom.

I decided to deal with one thing,
Jesus Christ who was crucified;
One subject to focus and bring,
And what His death had signified.

I was weak and I was afraid.
So I did not speak my message;
Not understanding the price paid,
For heavenly rite of passage.

I spoke my message of a show,
Giving of spiritual power;
From the love of God that does flow,
As delicate as a flower.

We use wisdom to speak to those,
Who would realize being mature;
And how the grace of God would flow,
With having their hearts and mind pure.

It is wisdom that belongs not,
Where rulers like these in this place;
For it is darkness that is sought,
By them that blocks the godly grace.

It is wisdom that is hidden,
Which God had planned for the glory;
But for this world is forbidden,
Since the carnal mind is gory.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
While no mind has ever thought;
The awesome power of the Word,
That so many have gone and sought.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
