Richard Merrell Poems

The clock of time waits for no man;
But ticks away each second
For centuries, unto this hour
The Son of God has beckoned.
...

Wide is the road to destruction
The broadway that leads unto death;
But narrow and straight is the path
That leads unto life in the Beth.
...

I have beheld the jasper
And I've seen the sardis stone
I have beheld His glory
And I've seen His blood atone.
...

Noah made an ark
He made it out of wood,
Pitched it both inside and out -
This waterproofed it good.
...

WHAT can man now give
WHAT cost can man now pay?

WHAT thing can man now offer
...

The doctrine of baptisms
And the laying on of hands
The resurrection of the dead
Eternal judgement which stands.
...

I oft went to the window
With hope, to look and see
If any of the shepherds
Might have come to visit me.
...

Are not these words of Yeshua true
'If they persecuted me, they shall persecute you.'

For we all must remember His Word;
...

Those rats, they came again last night
I could not sleep at all;
It's very hard to move you see
When you're chained to the wall.
...

There is a principle in life
I've found in it great gain,
In heaven I have stored it
The treasure from life's pain.
...
