YODH

Date:

It is good to suffer,
So I can learn the laws;
Giving thought to ponder,
After receiving flaws.

The teaching from the Lord,
Is the truth being told;
And never be ignored,
Being worth more than gold.

They are worth more to me,
Than all of the silver;
Revealing what I see,
Laws that you cannot sever.

His hands created me,
And made me what I am;
Able to be sin free,
Through the blood of the Lamb.

God helps me understand,
For learning His commands;
And avoid sinking sand,
Knowing what He demands.

Those who fear Him rejoice,
With hope based on His Word;
As you hear His soft voice,
Abiding what is heard.

I know His Law is fair,
Suffering truly right;
To discipline to care,
So you can see the light.

Let His mercy and grace,
Comfort you as promised;
Feeling His sweet embrace,
Confessing and get blest.

Let His compassion reach,
You so that you can live;
Be glad what He does teach,
And that He will forgive.

Let your heart be fulfilled,
In regard to His Law;
Not to shame but rebuild,
That lets your heart to thaw.

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.
