Through Prayer

Date:

You have not come to something,
To feel the blazing fire;
To darkness of gloom will bring,
From the stormy desire.

A trumpet blast to a voice,
Begged not for what has been heard;
As for others may rejoice,
When they might hear the Holy Word.

Because you could not obey,
The command that was given;
Since you rather go astray,
Than to listen to Heaven.

Even if animals would touch,
Then they must be stoned to death;
Although God loves them so much,
They have to breathe their last breath.

The sight so terrifying,
Even Moses shook with fear;
While others were defying,
As they did joyously cheer.

You have come to Mount Zion,
The place of the living God;
Where the lamb with the lion,
Together honor and laud.

An innumerable host,
Of angels have assembled;
Along with the Holy Ghost,
As heathens in fear trembled.

The assembly of the church,
Of the firstborn in Heaven;
Will no longer have to search,
For inheritance given.

You have come before a judge,
And the spirits of people;
To you never held a grudge,
As told within the Gospel.

You have come to Jesus Christ,
Through the approval of God;
Because of blood sacrificed,
Cleansing you where you are flawed.

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.
