Let Us

When sins are forgiven,
No longer any need;
Sacrifice for Heaven,
If confessed the weed.

The weed is from the sin,
Because the blood of Christ;
The cleansing will begin,
To stop being enticed.

We confidently go,
Into His holy place;
Since the Father does know,
His Son has shed His grace.

Jesus has opened up,
A new way of living,
From the sip of His cup,
To be so forgiving.

We have a gracious priest,
Appointed to the house;
And preparing a feast,
When He marries His spouse.

We are plunged in the flood,
To free us from the guilt;
The cleansing of His blood,
Lets salvation be built.

Our bodies have been rinsed,
With the cleansing water;
So others are evinced,
As His son or daughter.

So we must continue,
In going unto Him;
Sincere in all you do,
With a spiritual vim.

Always a sincere heart,
And a strong faith this way;
Praise the Lord as you start,
Each and every day.

We must show our love,
Do good to each other;
As blessings flow from above,
Loving one another.

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.
