Praise Pure Hearts

Date:

Purify me from sin,
So I will then be clean;
Rid me of within,
The mistakes that have been.

Wash me both in and out,
To be whiter than snow;
Relieve me of the doubt,
With Your glory to glow.

Let me hear sounds of joy,
Filled with songs of gladness;
Letting my bones deploy,
Chasing away sadness.

Hide Your face from my sin,
Wipe out what I did wrong;
So I get discipline,
Let not the guilt prolong.

Make a clean heart in me,
Renew a right spirit;
Allow Your Spirit to see,
My deeds are true merit.

Do not cast me away,
From Your ever presence;
Guide me as to not stray,
Blessing me in essence.

Let Your Spirit stay here,
Do not let Him depart;
For helping me revere,
To praise with a pure heart.

Restore Your salvation,
Filled with joy within me;
Building a foundation,
For setting my soul free.

I need help to obey,
Willingness to follow;
Each and every day,
Guiding me as I go.

Then I will teach Your ways,
To those who do rebel;
Benefits to who prays,
The rumors to dispel.

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.
