Fighting for the Faith

Date:

I will continue to be glad,
No way could I ever be sad;
For I am lifting up my voice,
Proclaiming while I rejoice.

Because we are in the season,
To celebrate for a reason;
I know that I will be set free,
Through your prayers for it has to be.

And through the help that has enticed,
Comes the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
I eagerly expect and hope,
For enduring while I cope.

There is nothing to be ashamed,
I will speak softly as proclaimed;
Very bold with honor in Christ,
For all that was as sacrificed.

So whether I will live or die,
Jesus Christ is the reason why;
I am able to cope through life,
With the tribulations and the strife.

If I continue to live now,
I am sure He gives the knowhow;
Even though I will get insults,
My work will produce more results.

I find it very hard to choose,
Either way I will never lose;
To leave this life and be with Him,
Far better choice not to be grim.

But in this life if I remain,
Some may think it to be insane;
That I will continue to live,
In this life for I want to give.

Joyful in faith helps you to grow,
As I proclaim so I can show;
What was at one time that had been,
Will be coming to you again.

So live to reflect the Gospel,
Ignore no more the lost people;
That are struggling as you had,
Giving faith and hope to be glad.

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.
