The Prince of Peace

December 23, 2015 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

There will be no more gloom,
For the land in distress;
Because a change does loom,
God is willing to bless.

God has humbled the lands,
From an earlier time;
And now no longer stands,
In paying for their crime.

Soon He will bring glory,
To the road by the sea;
In the truthful story,
The some do disagree.

By the Jordan River,
Where the foreigners live;
God will not deliver,
And will never forgive.

Those who walk in the dark,
Will never see the light;
For where they do embark,
Is never pure and bright.

The light will shine on those,
Who live in the shadow;
In the land where death flows,
That God would only know.

The nation will expand,
Increase its happiness;
Celebrate in the land,
A harvest blessedness.

All the warrior boots,
Marching into battle;
Blood flowing to the roots,
As they rock the cradle.

A child will be born,
A son will be given;
The throne He will sojourn,
Coming down from Heaven.

For as the Prince of Peace,
To be known as His name;
That evil is to cease,
Will be here to proclaim.

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.

Faith Lived Close to the Land September 27, 2024
My dad eased his pickup truck along the rolling sidehill, tracing the curves in the rows of hay stretching before us, the steering wheel wandering beneath his hand. The afternoon sun was high and warm. We could have fallen asleep beneath its affectionate glow, were it an afternoon lazy enough to let our family rest. […]

Fasting Is A Good Thing. But For Some of Us, It’s Complicated. September 27, 2024
For a time when I was a child, I wanted nothing unless it was grilled cheese—without the bread. My loving parents accommodated me by placing a special order when we went to restaurants. Eventually, I became a vegetarian after making the connection between the animals I professed to love and what was on my plate. […]
