Surprised by Grace

Date:

You have heard how God told me,
To bring His kindness to you;
And gave insight so you could see,
For seeing His point of view.

You heard of the mystery,
That is already written;
Through revelation history,
That some say is forbidden.

When you read so you will know,
Understand the mystery;
How everything will flow,
For Christ to have victory.

In the past it was not known,
What His Spirit has revealed;
But it was the Lord alone,
Allowed the secret unsealed.

This secret is the Good News,
For showing all the people;
Which is not just for the Jews,
All inherit the Gospel.

The same body we belong,
As we share the same promise;
In faith we sing the same song,
With hope in the same premise.

I am a servant for Christ,
Of this Good News through kindness;
God helped not to be enticed,
By things that are worldliness.

His power had worked in me,
For giving me more insight;
So I am able to see,
The pathway onto the light.

I am the lowest of all,
Not deserving of His grace;
So many times that I fall,
I should not enter His place.

But I am not discouraged,
By the troubles I suffer;
His power has encouraged,
Be spiritually tougher.

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.
