Praise the King



O sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done marvelous things;
All is perfect nothing is wrong,
For all the goodness that it brings.

His right hand and His holy arm,
Has been giving His salvation;
For avoiding from any harm.
And made me a new creation.

The Lord made known His salvation,
He has revealed His righteousness;
In the sight of every nation,
For flowing down His blessedness.

He remembers His steadfast love,
And faithfulness unto His house;
As salvation flows from above,
Shining grace on you and your spouse.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord,
A joyous song for singing praise;
Singing while in one accord,
Throughout the night and all the days.

With trumpets and a sounding horn,
A joyful noise before the King;
Showing that you do love to adorn,
Harmonious song as you sing.

Let the sea roar fulfilled thereof,
The world and all those who live;
With all the peace showing the love,
Through confession, God will forgive.

Let the floodwaters clap their hands,
Let hills sing for joy together;
While the Lord speaks His commands,
Blessing people as they gather.

For He will come to judge the earth,
He will judge the world being just;
The people with fairness of worth,
That they will be able to trust.

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…
