Believer in Christ

Date:

I will give thanks unto You,
For being awesomely made;
Your works are helping me through,
As you render me the aid.

My bones were never concealed,
When I was made from Your view;
And from the womb You revealed,
A future I would pursue.

Your eyes were able to see,
When I was just a fetus;
Each day recorded of me,
Written when I raised a fuss.

So how precious is Your thought,
How vast in number are they;
Have I followed what I sought,
Have I trusted to obey.

I am sensitive toward sin,
And a believer in Christ;
As I try to discipline,
Never to become enticed.

If I try to count the times,
When there would be more of them;
Just like grains of sand for crimes,
That You easily condemn.

I wish you would kill evil,
Which is gory and wicked;
And get rid of the devil,
To be finally be dead.

He says wicked things of You,
His angels slander Your name;
All the evil they construe,
Act like it is just a game.

Should I not hate them for this,
Be disgusted of the flack;
Giving them a deadly kiss;
Like a viper would attack.

Please examine me O Lord,
Show me the eternal path;
For You are loved and adored,
I ask to be spared from the wrath.

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.
