In His Care

Date:

Blessed are the ones, who disobey,
Are forgiven and sin pardoned;
That they no longer go astray,
And their hearts no longer hardened.

Blessed are those who no longer sin,
And who have no deceitful thought;
That the Lord purified within,
From all earthly desires sought.

When I kept silent of my sin,
My bones began to waste away;
I became very frail and thin,
As I kept on groaning all day.

Day and night His hand lay on me,
My strength shriveled from summer heat;
As my vision too dim to see,
That the Lord had caused my defeat.

I acknowledged my sin to Him,
No longer covering my guilt;
With losing my vigor and vim,
I confessed as to be rebuilt.

God forgave of my transgression,
Since my wickedness did not hide;
Because my sincere confession,
And promised to start to abide.

Let all people pray to the Lord,
Anytime when He can be found;
Godly people are not ignored,
When lips and tongue will make a sound,

Raging waters will never reach,
Since the Lord is their hiding place;
Because of His Scripture did teach,
All about His mercy and grace.

The Lord will teach you where to go,
Advise you as He follows you;
Because God will already know,
Your path will be on which avenue.

Do not be stubborn like a mule,
Or the Lord needs a bridle and bit;
So be not like a stubborn fool,
Like a baby having a fit.

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.
