Your Desire

Date:

Those who are believers,
The Lord will not condemn;
Watch out for deceivers,
Will be causing mayhem.

Standards of the Spirit,
Through Jesus gives you life;
Because of good merit,
Shielding you from the strife.

You are set free from sin,
And the standards of death;
No longer stench within,
Exhaled out with each breath.

For as standards demand,
Impossible for to do;
Since weaknesses command,
Human nature in you.

But God had sent His Son,
To pay for our sin;
What corruption had done,
To decay us within.

We are a new creature,
For meeting His standards;
By spiritual nature,
Abiding by His words.

A corrupt attitude,
From a corrupt nature;
Having a evil mood,
With a sinful wager.

It will lead you to death,
Darkness will then prevail;
Ending after last breath,
At the end of your trail.

Life was filled with hate,
A hostile attitude;
But God will show your fate,
For lack of gratitude.

Your body has been dead,
Because of all your sin;
Christ in you instead,
Blocking where you have been.

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.
