The Low Point

Date:

I am happy to do His will,
The faith and hope He does instill;
His teachings are kept deep within,
Blocking any corruption and sin.

I will announce about the Good News,
Of the righteousness that I choose;
And I will never close my lips,
Of those assembled and worships.

I have not buried in my heart,
The righteousness that I impart;
I have been outspoken on Him,
His faithfulness that gives me vim.

I have not hidden any truth,
And never been at all uncouth;
His mercy giving salvation,
That has given a firm foundation.

He withholds not His compassion,
His truth protects me in fashion;
Because of His mercy and grace,
He is always there to embrace.

Countless evils have surrounded
Just as the trumpet has sounded;
For my sins have caught up with me,
So that I could no longer see.

They outnumber hairs on my head,
And making me wish I was dead;
Causing me to stray and depart,
From the Lord as I have lost heart.

I ask the Lord to rescue me,
To come quickly and get me free;
Let all those who seek end my life,
Be confused in the midst of strife.

Iniquities I put to shame,
In which I will never proclaim;
Let those who desire downfall,
Be disgraced as I make my call.

Let all who do seek Him rejoice,
To be glad and lift up their voice;
But I am oppressed and in need,
For my Savior nourish my seed.

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.
