The Precious Blood

Date:

Your mind must remain clear,
And ready for action;
Your confidence is near,
To heavenly passion.

Place all your confidence,
In the kindness of God;
Which is your best defense,
From evil that is flawed.

Jesus Christ will appear,
Again extremely soon;
You know the time is near,
When seeing the blood moon.

As children who obey,
Live not as in the past;
When you had gone astray,
Causing God to downcast.

You lived to satisfy,
Of your own desires;
As you would just defy,
What Jesus requires.

But because God called you,
You keep a holy life;
To be faithful and true,
As you endure the strife.

For the Lord is holy,
Since God is your Father;
As your One and only,
Which makes Christ your Brother.

As we sojourn on earth,
We keep living in fear;
And through a second birth,
We know that God is near.

God judges all people,
By all what they have done;
Stating in the Gospel,
Defended by the Son.

You have not been set free,
Having a worthless life;
Without payment to be,
Filled with toils and strife.

The payment that freed you,
Was the blood of the Lamb;
So that you can pursue,
Honoring the “I Am”.

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.
