Ministry Counselor
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I shall tell you the truth,
Being your advantage;
Remembering your youth,
Growing up at that stage.
Christ will convict the world,
Concerning righteousness;
For judgment to be hurled,
In losing consciousness.
It is concerning sin,
Since they do not believe;
For corruption within,
Salvation not receive.
Concerning righteousness,
Be judged by the Father;
Jesus can never bless,
And not be your Brother.
Concerning the judgment,
Because of the ruler;
Causes abolishment,
To those who are crueler.
Christ still has many things,
But cannot bear them now;
To what the future brings,
Just the Father knows how.
When the Spirit of truth,
Will be able to guide;
No longer be uncouth,
But able to abide.
Whatsoever He hears,
He speaks and will declare;
So each of us reveres,
The Holy Word to share.
For He will glorify,
Who abides His decree;
Righteously sanctify,
Making pure you and me.
All that He has is Christ,
And will declare to you;
All that was sacrificed,
Given for great value.
