Honest Life

Let brotherly love continue,
Neglecting not any strangers;
It might be angels visiting you,
But vigilant to the dangers.

Remember the ones in prison,
And the ones who are mistreated;
The suffering that has been done,
That another might have...

Worship and Warning

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord,
Joy to the rock of salvation;
A joyful noise in one accord,
For a spiritual foundation.

A joyful noise of thanksgiving;
Songs of praising in the essence,
For His mercy and...

Ministry Goal

I rejoice in my suffering,
In my flesh I in what I lack;
For Jesus is my buffering,
From all of the toil and flack.

I had become a messenger,
For the stewardship of the Lord;
And in being a passenger,
On the vessel of one accord.

For I...

Repentance Call

Gather O shameless nation,
O nation not desired;
Building up a foundation,
Iniquities acquired.

Before the rule takes effect,
Before the day goes away;
Burning anger to affect,
Because you have gone astray.

For the anger of the Lord,
...

Pi

Testimonies are wonderful,
Therefore my soul is keeping them;
I find them so pleasurable,
As precious as a diadem.

The unfolding of words give light,
It imparts the understanding;
To the simple of what is right,
Of what the Lord is...

Stronghold

God is my light and salvation,
For He is to whom I shall fear;
Stronghold of life my foundation,
Who I shall honor and revere.

For of whom shall I be afraid,
As being the strength of my life;
Against evildoers He gives aid,
As they fall in...

Instruction of Wisdom

Fret not on evildoers,
For they will fade like withered grass;
Envy, not wicked pursuers,
God will condemn for their trespass.

Trust in the Lord and to do good,
Befriend faithfulness in the land;
From where you dwell do as you should,
You...

Essential Faith

Now if Christ is proclaimed,
Being raised from the dead;
How can you be ashamed,
Resurrection as said.

If no resurrection,
Not ever Christ was raised;
Faith has no protection,
It is vain to be praised.

Then we bear false witness,
...

Realities of Wealth

There is a grievous evil,
I have seen under the sun;
Riches kept by the devil,
On what the owner had done.

Riches lost a bad venture,
Having nothing in his hand;
While on an adventure,
And sinking in some quicksand.

He came out of his...

A New Life

Now, this I say and testify,
Testify upon the Lord;
That you must start to deny,
Gentile ways be ignored.

The vanity of their mind,
Darkened in understanding;
Iniquity of every kind,
Brazen in their demanding.

Alienated from God,
Having...

We always need to thank God,

Being Gracious

A deadly thing is poured out,
An evil disease cleaves fast;
Where He lies there is no doubt,
That His life will ever last.

Even my friend who I trust,
Who has eaten of my bread;
Knowing He is fair and just,
Never will He remain dead.

Humble and Contrite

Rejoice with Jerusalem,
Be glad for her and show love;

Drink deeply with such delight;
Consoling you as you rest,
Divine richness through the night.

– by Richard Newton Sherrer

Emptiness of Work

I hated all of my toil,
To toil under the sun;
For as I till the soil,
Man must work till it is done.

I hate life for my labor,
Vexation of my spirit;
Finding nothing in favor,
Rewarded for my merit.

Who knows whether I am wise,
Or just...

Carrying Burdens

Let the one who has been taught,
All good things with who teaches;
Sharing the Word that who sought,
Passing to the far reaches.

Whatever one sows they reap;
Abundance will be received,
If the Commands, they...

– by Richard Newton Sherrer

Believer Lawsuits

Having a score as to settle,
A grievance against another;
Dare go unto them and mettle,
Into the Law on your brother.

The unrighteous instead of saints,
Since the saints unable to judge;
Unskilled in trivial complaints,
Since a pagan may...

The Emptiness

Come for testing you with pleasure,
Behold for this is vanity;
Enjoy what desires treasure,
Feel free to use profanity.

Searching my heart on how to cheer;
With wisdom how can I measure,
My body with wine has...

Sin and Shin

Princes persecute me,
Without having a cause;
But my heart stands to see,
That Your Word has no flaws.

Stirs me through my toil.

I hate and abhor lies,
But...

Through Christ Jesus has set you free;
Enables you to inherit,
That sin and death have...

– by Richard Newton Sherrer

The Spirit versus the Flesh

Walk by the Spirit,
Not to fill your lust;
Desires merit,
In the Lord to trust.

Fleshy desires,
Against the Spirit;
Light the wrong fires,
Blocks to inherit.

If the Spirit leads,
Not under the Law;
Ensured of your needs,
Not to get a...

God Given Tasks

What gain has man from his toil,
What profit comes from his labor;
Before they are used, they spoil,
Without sharing with his neighbor.

I have seen what God has given,
To the sons and daughters of man;
Blessings that flow down from Heaven,
...

– by Richard Newton Sherrer

Separation to God

Be not yoked with unbelievers,

Because of the path they embark,
Having different...

Heirs and Sons

As long as he is a child,
No different from a slave;

From their sinful behavior.

Being children...

Knowing you would be my...

The LORD Responds

I am being sought by those,
Who has never invited me;
Because it is God only knows,
Who is always able to see.

Here I am not called by name,
To a place that I was not called;
I spread out my hand to proclaim,
To faithless people who are...

Eternal Afflicted Light

He has broken my strength,
And has shortened my days;
Weakened at such a length,

No Other Gospel

I marvel that you soon desert,
Who called you in the grace of Christ;

How the Father...

Because His...

For you ignored the Master.

Let yourself not be enticed,
Anything on earth thereof.

Set your mind on things above,
Not on things that are on earth;
You have died because of love,

The Ministry of Reconciliation

For now, no one is of the flesh,
Even though how we had known Christ;
Rather our lives did refresh,
Because Jesus was sacrificed.

Law Misuse

I urge you when I am gone,
That you may charge some people;

That promotes evil and sin,
And how the stewardship fails.
