Remembering His Faithfulness

Date:

You were dead at one time,
For your failures and sin;
With much immoral crime,
That corrupted within.

You followed the ways here,
And its dark persuader;
For God you did not fear,
Snubbing the Creator.

The ruler keeps shaping,
Those who refuse the Lord;
Helping in escaping,
As morals are ignored.

All of us once did live,
Among all these people;
But God will not forgive,
Since they snub the Gospel.

With their corrupt nature,
And profane desires;
Never a new creature,
Not a one acquires.

We deserve of the wrath,
Of God like the others;
But on the righteous path,
To Christ we are brothers.

God is rich in His grace,
With great love for us all;
He is there to embrace,
If we falter or fall.

We were dead from failure,
But has made us alive;
Through Christ our Savior,
We evermore survive.

For God has brought us back,
And gave a position;
With the insight we lack,
To help through transition.

God made us what we are,
Through faith we have been saved;
Healed us where we did scar,
Through His grace sins are paid.

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.
