Ancient Times

Date:

Loudly I cried unto the Lord,
I cried with my voice unto God;
So that I would not be ignored,
Knowing that His ears were not flawed.

On that day I was in trouble,
So I went to the Lord for aid;
And dig me out of the rubble,
Since I had become so afraid.

Over night, I stretched out my hands,
In prayer without growing tired;
Being overwhelmed by demands,
From work caused me to be fired.

Yet my soul has refused to be,
Comforted by another one;
Because I was too blind to see,
My faith in the Father and Son.

I sigh in remembering God,
But beginning to lose my hope;
Thinking how to honor and laud,
Which enabled me how to cope.

I am upset I cannot speak,
Considering the days of old;
More freely enabled to seek,
When trouble happened to unfold.

I remember singing at night,
As a way to reflect on it;
It could have been an oversight,
Contacting the Holy Spirit.

My spirit searches for answers,
Will the Lord reject all the time;
Or cause death from any cancers,
Because in the past any crime.

Will the Lord ever accept me?
Exactly the way that I am;
I only wish to be guilt free,
Become His precious little lamb.

Did God forget to be gracious?
Forgotten to be merciful;
But knowing He can be jealous,
If we are not so dutiful.

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.
