Enter Not

Date:

I pleaded with the Lord,
To let me enter in;
But like I was ignored,
Because I stank of sin.

I besought at that time,
For letting me come through;
But not confessed my crime,
That has been overdue.

He has only begun,
For showing me how great;
How powerful His Son,
Guards access at the gate.

His greatness and strong hand,
Will stop me in my tracks;
Angels at His command,
His sources nothing lacks.

What kind of god is there,
In Heaven or on earth;
Acts like he does not care,
If I was little worth.

Who can do such great deeds,
Mighty acts God has done;
Only my God succeeds,
Being second to none.

Please let me go over,
See the beautiful land;
Do me this one favor,
I do what You demand.

A beautiful river,
And majestic mountains;
Filled with gold and silver,
Seeing all enlightens.

But the Lord was angry,
Because I not comply;
So much I disagree,
The laws that I defy.

He told me, “Enough said,
Do not talk anymore;
Be glad you are not dead,
Hearing a flaming roar.”

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.
