The Lord is my refuge,
The Most High is His home;
And He will not refuse,
To house me when I roam.

No harm will come to me,
No sickness in His place;
My eyes open to see,
Comfort from His embrace.

His angels in control,
To protect me always;
Assuring that my soul,
Throughout all of my days.

They hold me with their hands,
So I do not stumble;
As I obey commands,
And will never grumble.

I will step on lions,
And trample rattlesnakes;
The Scriptures as weapons,
As God causes earthquakes.

Because He does love me,
God comes to my rescue;
He opens my eyes to see,
Giving me a clear view.

The Lord will protect me,
Because He knows my name;
Ensuring that I am free,
For proclaiming His fame.

When I call to the Lord,
He will answer my call;
For I am not ignored,
When feeling I will fall.

The Lord will be with me,
When I am in trouble;
No matter land or sea,
Saving me from rubble.

God will satisfy me,
With having a long life;
Ensuring I am free,
From the toils and strife.

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.

Faith Lived Close to the Land September 27, 2024
My dad eased his pickup truck along the rolling sidehill, tracing the curves in the rows of hay stretching before us, the steering wheel wandering beneath his hand. The afternoon sun was high and warm. We could have fallen asleep beneath its affectionate glow, were it an afternoon lazy enough to let our family rest. […]

Fasting Is A Good Thing. But For Some of Us, It’s Complicated. September 27, 2024
For a time when I was a child, I wanted nothing unless it was grilled cheese—without the bread. My loving parents accommodated me by placing a special order when we went to restaurants. Eventually, I became a vegetarian after making the connection between the animals I professed to love and what was on my plate. […]
