The Voice of Faith

Date:

You pierce the leader of His gang,
With His own arrows and His sword;
Then from a tree you left Him hang,
Since you refuse to call Him Lord.

His troops like a violent storm,
They are scattering you and me;
They are arrogant and perform,
A search but are too blind to see.

You march with your horse to the shore,
Where the mighty waters did flow;
And secretly ate food of the poor,
At a time when they did not know.

But there was trembling within me,
Another voice that I have heard;
Quivering lips that were not free,
As the Lord was speaking His Word.

A rotten feeling was inside,
It had entered me where I stood;
Ripping for tearing up my pride,
Chopping up like a piece of wood.

I wait for the day of trouble,
Hope it quickly passes away;
Because it has made me stumble,
Since I have been going astray.

Even if the fig tree blooms not,
Or the olive tree growth fails;
I will not blame what is at fault,
The hired hands have empty pails.

Even if the pen have no sheep,
The cows no longer in their stalls;
I will still get a good night sleep,
As the sun drops and the night falls.

I will be happy with the Lord,
As I truly find joy in God;
No longer will He be ignored,
Because I will honor and laud.

The Lord Almighty is my strength,
He makes my feet like of a deer;
To persevere at any length,
For my confession was sincere.

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.
