The Power of Music

Date:

Put to death the worldly treasures,
Perversion that bring the pleasures;
Sexual sin with lust and greed,
That seems to spread just like a weed.

Because of sin God shows His wrath,
In the wake of the aftermath;
On those who refuse to obey,
Shunning God as they go astray.

As holy people God has chose,
Be sympathetic as love flows;
So be humble, patient and kind,
Showing patience to ease the mind.

Endure others as you forgive,
Being in harmony to live;
Forgive as the Lord forgave you,
Accepting other points of view.

Be loving to tie it together,
Sharing the love as you gather;
Let the peace of Christ control you,
Giving insight as to construe.

Let the peace of Christ rule your heart,
Capable to let you impart;
Remembering in unity,
As one body in purity.

Let the Word of Christ dwell within,
Richly in wisdom without sin;
The wisdom that the Lord has taught,
And what His blood had also bought.

Sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
With all the praises that prolongs;
Singing with the grace in your heart,
In your mind never to depart.

Music has the power to proclaim,
All that you do within His name;
Giving thanks to the Father through,
Jesus Christ for purifying you.

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.
