Coronation of the Son



Why do the nations rage,
As people plot in vain;
Act like beasts in a cage,
Going through so much pain.

For the kings of the earth,
Set themselves together;
As if they will give birth,
In the stormy weather.

Let their bonds burst apart,
Casting away their cord;
Having hardened a heart,
Now living by the sword.

He who sits in Heaven,
Laughs at the derision;
All the Lord has given,
Now they cause division.

He will speak with His wrath,
Terrify with fury;
Setting upon their path,
Fear making them scurry.

He will tell the decree,
You are being His son;
He had begotten thee,
For the righteousness done.

He will make the nation,
As your inheritance;
As a new creation,
Giving your repentance.

You break them with iron,
Dash them into pieces;
Like Sampson with His brawn,
Until their life ceases.

O kings be wise and warned,
Serve the Lord as you fear;
Show how He is adorned,
As you laud and revere.

Kiss the Son lest angry,
You perish in the way;
Dishonor His decree,
In the end, you will pay.

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…
