Analysis of God is the Creator



Bless our Lord, O my soul,
He is the Almighty;
Such a splendor to console,
Clothed in His majesty.

He covers Himself with pure light,
Stretching out through the Heaven;
He lays His beams of delight,
Flowing with wind He has given.

He makes the clouds His carriage,
Wings that are riding the wind;
Coming on the day He will judge,
Those who are not disciplined.

His angels are messengers,
Rectors of flaming fire;
Minister to challengers,
That have earthly desire.

Earth set on its foundation,
That it never be removed;
Allowing its rotation,
For time to be behooved.

He covered it with raiment,
Water stood on the mountain;
As sunlight made the payment,
A stream flows from a fountain.

When rebuked the enemy fled,
The sound of thunder took flight;
As the lightning struck them dead,
The wrath of God in their sight.

Mountains rose and valleys sank,
That God appointed for them;
Living water that they drank,
The chosen He won’t condemn.

Boundary set not to pass,
That might not cover the earth;
A bound for each lad and lass,
Being fruitful brings new birth.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
