Made Alive

Date:

You were once dead because of sin,
And because of all your failure;
But now you are able to win,
All because you have a savior.

You followed the ways of this place,
And of its spiritual ruler;
Has been causing such a disgrace,
Deceptive talk as a fooler.

He continues to work through people,
Who refuses to obey God;
Does not acknowledge the Gospel,
He will never honor and laud.

All of us have lived amongst them,
Desiring a corrupt nature;
Because of their thoughts will condemn,
Never to be a new creature.

We are deserving of His wrath,
Since He is rich in mercy and grace;
If we walk the straight and slim path,
And following Him at His pace.

Remaining together through Christ,
For together He has given;
If we are not being enticed,
By something other than Heaven.

Out of His generosity,
Showing extreme kindness for here;
Having such virtuosity,
By the time Christ will reappear.

Through your own faith God has saved you,
Because of an act of kindness;
You have nothing need to pursue,
Curing coming from the blindness.

For a gift from God that has saved,
Resulting not from you have done;
No longer that sin has enslaved,
Since sin has been paid by the Son.

God has made us for what we are,
Creating us for living lives;
Each of us as a shining star,
Waiting for when Jesus arrives.

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.
