Living Light

Date:

I am sure that I know,
Jesus if we obey;
Laud and honor to show,
With love every day.

If I say I know Him,
But I do not obey;
Then my life would be grim,
Since I constantly stray.

The truth is not within,
If I live in the dark;
Life in a world of sin,
Wherever I embark.

But if I obey Christ,
Having His kind of love;
Vowed to be sacrificed,
Devoted to thereof.

That is how we will know,
That we do follow Christ;
And in the light we go,
No longer be enticed.

Those who say that we live,
Then must live the same way;
Helping others and forgive,
Being truthful what we say.

It is a truth that exists,
In both Christ and in you;
When you tell it persists,
Shining brightly as true,

For as the darkness fades,
The radiance shines through;
Because true light persuades,
That truth is overdue.

Those who walk in the light,
Will love other people;
With wisdom and insight,
Believing the Gospel.

Living in the dark of night,
You have no direction;
For being blind to the sight,
Of a bright perfection.

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.
