Analysis of Promised Restoration



Sing aloud daughter of Zion,
Be glad and rejoice in your heart;
As you can roar like a lion,
The Word of the Lord to impart.

All your judgments God took away,
He has cleared away any foe;
He is your King that you obey,
Never fear evil that you know.

For on that day it shall be said,
Fear not, let not your hands grow weak,
The Lord nourishing you are fed,
From everything that you may seek.

The Lord your God is always near,
As the mighty One who will save;
He rejoices when you revere,
Assuring you are not a slave.

No longer as a slave to sin,
As you will be resting in His love;
Songs of praise are filling within,
As blessings flow from up above.

He will gather of those who mourn,
So that you no longer suffer;
He will be near where you sojourn,
Who will comfort as your buffer.

Behold, at that time He will deal,
The affliction from oppressors;
All of your wounds the Lord will heal,
Cause shame to any aggressors.

At that time He will bring you in,
As the faithful come to gather;
Allowing all for to begin,
Purifying all together.

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…
