Analysis of Proclamation of Paul
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I did not come to proclaim,
The testimony of God;
Rather the wisdom of shame,
That has caused you to be flawed.
Not for knowing anything,
Except Christ was crucified;
Of forgiveness, it would bring,
In knowing why He had died.
I was with you in weakness,
And in fear and much quiver;
That was coming from bleakness,
To baptize in the river.
My speech and my preaching,
Were not with enticing talk;
Rather wisdom in teaching,
For you to righteously walk.
To demonstrate His Spirit,
So that your faith might not rest;
With power what you merit,
That you always do your best.
