Never Forsaken

Date:

Why have You abandoned me Lord?
Why do You seem so far away?
I feel as if You have ignored,
Ever since I had gone astray.

So far away from my groaning,
So far from me to render aid;
Can You hear the sound of moaning?
Because I am very afraid.

I cry out through every day,
But no answer comes from Your sound;
As well as during night I pray,
But nothing has been ever heard.

You are holy, enthroned by praise,
Our ancestors trusted You;
They will be rescued from their graves,
Salvation for those who are true.

They trusted and You rescued them,
They cried to You and were saved;
Because You never did condemn,
Since they no longer were enslaved.

I am a worm rather than a man,
As scorned by others and despised;
And you can never see His plan,
When you think that it is disguised.

All who see me make fun of me,
Throwing insults and ridicule;
Making them just too blind to see,
Thinking of me as a big fool.

I put myself into Your hands,
And asking You to please save me;
Rue not following Your commands,
I request that You hear my plea.

You were near to me in the womb,
Fed by my mother through her breast;
You will be with me in the tomb,
When I will be lain down to rest.

But I know You never forsake,
Even though nothing has been heard;
I know no matter it might take,
Your answer will be in Your Word.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
