Through My Fingers

Go up a high mountain,
And tell of the Good News;
From the living fountain,
Drink for the right to choose.

Call out with a loud voice,
Telling of the Gospel;
All who hear can rejoice,
For the cheering people.

Raise your voice without fear,
Tell the cities and towns;
What I speak is sincere,
Make smiles out of frowns.

For your God has come here,
The Lord comes with might;
There is no need to fear,
He comes to challenge night.

The Lord has come to rule,
With His authority;
And to punish the fool,
That has iniquity.

He has a His reward,
For people He has won;
Who believes in the Lord?
His sacrificed Son.

Like a shepherd who cares,
Taking care of His flock;
All that He has He shares,
Follows where He does walk.

The lambs are in His arms,
He gently guides the sheep;
Vigilant on alarms,
Watching them as they sleep.

With the palm of His hand,
He can measure the sea;
And able to demand,
Waves to heed His decree.

All the nations’ measure,
Nothing in His presence;
Not worthy of His treasure,
Only God in essence.

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. […]
