Fear Nothing

Date:

Who will harm you if devoted,
By doing everything good;
Your merit is duly noted,
For doing always as you should.

Even if you suffer to do,
All of the things that God approves;
God rewards for remaining true,
Shines favor upon that behooves.

Fear not on those who want to harm,
Anger not or become upset;
For God has a very strong arm,
That any foe would just regret.

Dedicate your life to the Lord,
Make Jesus Christ your Lord and King;
Your confidence is not ignored,
For the salvation it will bring.

Go and prepare to proclaim,
Always be ready to defend;
If someone asks you to explain,
Assist them for to comprehend.

Make your defense gentle and kind,
Giving them very much respect;
Explain to them to ease their mind,
So they easily not reject.

You need to keep your conscience clear,
So they see the good Christian life;
As your faith will present no fear,
And cause you not even more strife.

You will have contempt and feel ashamed,
That they ridicule with insults;
But it is better when proclaimed,
When you suffer from their assaults.

Since Christ suffered for our sin,
And He was an innocent man;
He hurt for our guilt within,
Which God had as part of His plan.

For His body was put to death,
But back to life through His Spirit;
When He was given renewed breath
To clean us from our debit.

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.
