Shout happily to the Lord,
Proclaiming over all the earth;
As you remain in one accord,
Explaining about His true worth.

You serve the Lord cheerfully,
While singing a joyful song;
No need for to be tearfully,
Letting not sorrow to prolong.

Enter through into His presence,
As you sing with a joyful song;
The aroma of His essence,
A sign you know that you belong.

Recognize to see that the Lord,
In truth solely the one true God;
And never let it be ignored,
All the others are truly fraud.

He had created each of us,
And we are belonging to Him;
Providing essentials as thus,
Giving us the vigor and vim.

For we truly are His people,
And the flock of sheep in His care;
Entering into His temple,
In hearing our Shepherd share.

Enter the gates of the Savior,
Singing a song of thanksgiving;
He will shower you with favor,
For blessing you in your living.

Into courtyards with songs of praise,
Give thanks to Him and praise His name;
Showing honor in all your days,
Never hesitant to proclaim.

The Lord is good His Word is true,
His mercy endures forever;
Giving the insight to construe,
With a truth that will not sever.

His faithfulness endures always,
Through every generation;
Following you both nights and days,
That is bridging your relation.

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.

Evangelicals Struggle to Preach Life in the Top Country for Assisted Death October 4, 2024
Canadian Christians increasingly find their pro-life values in conflict with their nation’s rapid acceptance of medical assistance in dying (MAID). Many say churches could be a refuge in Canada’s pro-MAID culture, reminding people of human dignity and providing community supports that can help them resist the lure of MAID. But chances are, most Canadian Christians […]

Modern ‘Technoculture’ Makes the World Feel Unnaturally Godless October 4, 2024
In his 1996 novel, In the Beauty of the Lilies, John Updike has a fictional Reformed Presbyterian minister feel his faith abandon him like an exhale, leaving his “habitual mental contortions decisively relaxed.” For this minister, the experience was one of relief, “an immense strain of justification” lifted “at a blow.” Unbelief, in this sense, […]
