Forever Loved

Answer me when I call,
God of my righteousness;
Have pity if I fall,
Giving me blessedness.

You freed me from trouble,
Hearing me through my prayer;
Pulling from the rubble,
Showing me that you care.

The important people,
Insulted my honor;
When I preach the Gospel,
They treat it as horror.

How long are you to love,
What is an empty lie;
Letting it from above,
Flow on those who deny.

Know that the Lord calls on,
Those that He has chosen;
Like morning dew at dawn,
Or the lake as frozen.

The Lord hears when I call,
Tremble and do not sin;
In spring the lake will thaw,
As His love warms within.

Commune with your heart,
On your bed and be still;
Enabled to impart,
Letting His love to fill.

Offer the sacrifice,
By trusting our Lord;
Let not the world entice,
Temptation is ignored.

Who can show what is good?
Let His light to shine through;
Shining His glory would,
Will reflect what is true.

God puts joy in my heart,
Falling asleep in peace;
For a new life to start,
A new wine will increase.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

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.

Which Church in Revelation Is Yours Like? October 10, 2024
Revelation is often interpreted out of context based on current concerns and fearful speculations about the end times. But after a study trip to Turkey—and years of teaching Revelation at my local church in Rome and for conferences—I have come to realize how contextual the book is. Throughout Revelation, John of Patmos uses powerful imagery […]
