Time Together

It is good to sing songs to God,
It is pleasant to sing His praise;
Worshipping to honor and laud,
Follow His steps walking His ways,

The Lord is our builder here,
He is the one to find outcasts;
To come together and revere,
As the prophets made their forecasts.

He will heal the brokenhearted,
He is the one who binds the wounds;
He comforts for the departed,
As a companion if marooned.

He determines how many stars,
Giving each one its own name;
Positions pulsars and quasars,
In glory for us to proclaim.

The power of the Lord is great,
No limit to understanding;
But we can never compensate,
Unable in comprehending.

The oppressed are getting relief,
As He brings wicked people down;
Those with faith will have the belief,
To smile instead of a frown.

So sing a song of thanksgiving,
Play God music with a lyre;
Praise Him for a life worth living,
A chorus sung by a choir

He covers the sky with the clouds,
Providing rain quenching the ground;
Growing grass gather like the crowds,
For nourishment of joyous sound.

He is the One who beasts their food,
Even nestlings as they call out;
Regardless of their attitude,
Or no matter how much the doubt.

The Lord delights with those who fear,
Willing to give mercy and grace;
When confessing wrongs is sincere,
He will comfort you to embrace.

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. […]
