Analysis of Favor Restoration



You have shown favor to Your land,
Restoring all of the fortunes;
Rescued Your people with Your hand,
That came from sinful intentions.

You forgave the iniquity,
By covering all of their sin;
From confession of a plea,
For being purified within.

You had withdrawn all of Your wrath,
And have turned from Your hot anger;
Clearing obstacles from my path,
For allowing peace to languor.

Restore us our salvation,
Allowing Your anger to cease;
Put away Your indignation,
Enable me to feel Your peace.

Will you be angry forever?
Will anger prolong the ages?
Let not Your favor to sever,
For the comfort that embraces.

Would You please revive us again,
So that Your people may rejoice;
For a new life that will begin,
While we lift up our voice.

Please show us of Your steadfast love,
By granting us of Your salvation;
Letting it to flow from above,
Building us a new foundation.

Let me hear of what You will speak,
Speak peace and love to Your people;
So that Your saints able to seek,
The truth while in Your temple.

Surely Your salvation is near,
Your glory dwell in our land;
Assist all those who do revere,
Following what You do command.

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet,
Justice and peace kiss each other;
As harmony becomes complete,
Relationship with one another.

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…
