Instructing Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I urge that supplication prayer,
Intercessions and thanksgiving;
Be made for all people to share,
And begin a righteous living.
Kings and all in high positions,
May lead a peaceful quiet life;
In dignified situations,
A godly way to cope with strife.
It pleases in the sight of God,
Our Savior who wants all saved;
No longer by becoming flawed,
That iniquities have enslaved.
Come to the knowledge of the truth,
That there is just one triune God;
And you had learned back in your youth,
Continue to honor and laud.
For we have one mediator,
Between the Father and humans;
Being a negotiator,
While shielding us from demons.
Christ gave Himself as a ransom,
Testified at the proper time;
For a ticket to His Kingdom,
When confessed to erase our crime.
I was appointed a poet,
For speaking the truth about Christ;
And about what you inherit,
Causing Him to be sacrificed.
