Be Perfect

Date:

You did not want sacrifices,
Or burnt offerings for your sin;
Rather you have these devices,
To entertain not discipline.

The Lord does not approve of them,
But has done what you desire;
So that the Father not condemn,
Not as the precepts require.

Sacrifices are done away,
To establish obedience;
So you no longer go astray,
And no more showing deviance.

Because we have been set apart,
As holy on account of Christ;
God wanting to give a new heart,
For all in being sacrificed.

Each day a priest had done his deed,
He offered sacrifice the same;
But was not able to succeed,
Get rid of the sin to proclaim.

But one sacrifice has been made,
As a sacrifice forever;
By the Chief Priest that will not fade,
Not even Satan can sever.

The Holy Spirit says the same,
That this as being a promise;
God is making for to proclaim,
For all of us to take notice.

The Lord will put what He has taught,
Engrave them in your mind and heart;
Referencing what they have sought,
Will not be able to depart.

He will no longer hold each sin,
And disobedience against them;
A chance to regain discipline,
With no desire to condemn

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.
