Of Value

Date:

At the time when we were helpless,
Christ died for ungodly people;
Even though all had seemed hopeless,
Without the faith in the Gospel.

For finding someone who would die,
For a godly person is rare;
So many would want to know why,
Death for sinners who do not care.

Maybe someone is brave enough,
In dying for a good person;
Hard to say and is kind of tough,
For a Father to give His Son.

Jesus Christ died for all of us,
While we were all still sinners;
And without raising any fuss,
Showing love to make us winners.

Since the blood of Christ has given,
For saving us from any rage;
So we have passage to Heaven,
At the time we have reached that stage.

If death of His Son has restored,
Our relationship with God;
We must be thankful to the Lord,
By showing Him honor and laud.

Justified by faith, we have peace,
With God through the Lord Jesus Christ;
Having a new life with new lease,
Since Jesus had been sacrificed.

So by faith we now have access,
Into this grace wherein we stand;
Through compassion God will now bless,
If we follow through His command.

For His glory we can rejoice,
Because we of having the hope;
Praising as we lift up our voice,
Through tribulations that we cope.

For our hope puts not to shame,
Since the love of God has been shed;
So our hearts and mind proclaim,
The value in the Son that bled.

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.
