Beyond Labels

Date:

By faith we have approval,
As well as having peace with God;
Confession makes sin removal,
Blessings when we honor and laud.

All because of what Christ has done,
So we are able to approach;
For our Lord Christ is the Son,
Who is our mentor and coach.

Through Jesus we can approach God,
As we will stand in His favor;
Even though that we have been flawed,
Jesus Christ is our Savior.

So we brag of the confidence,
Through the glory that we receive;
Knowing Christ is our defense,
Because the fact that we believe.

We also brag of suffering,
Because it creates endurance;
Through Christ who is a buffering,
In boosting our confidence.

It is building a character,
Within never to be ashamed;
For Christ is our instructor,
Every day we have proclaimed.

As His love pours into your heart,
A flowing love through His Spirit;
A reflection that will impart,
With all your thoughts and your merit.

So while we were still helpless,
Christ had died for the ungodly;
To show His love able to bless,
A compassion that is broadly.

Broadly to die for is so rare,
Especially all of the sinners;
For the courage through love we share,
Making each of us big winners.

Forgiveness blocks failure and pride,
Beyond all labels that we hold;
Showing honor as we abide,
Continue to let life unfold.

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.
