Richard Merrell Poems

Love is of God, who gives

Oracle of Christ, who lives
...

I have the mind of Christ
For Yeshua is my Lord,
I long for the wisdom
From His Holy Word.
...

Be sure when you go in
He knows the truth, does He
I talked about all sorts of things
But He said, 'Depart from me'
...

If I could but touch the heart of man
And prove the Saviour's love
T'would be my priceless treasure
In God's storehouse up above;
...

God's ways are not our ways
At times we wish they were
How easy it would be
If troubles did not occur.
...

When I pray for words of grace
I find the strength to run the race;
By God's Word I know I'm safe.
Praying in belief, that's faith!
...

God is always close to me
And speaks words of comfort;

I've often been alone, but never lonely.
...

I look out of my window and ponder the view
I see the sky, white clouds upon blue
I understand
...

I thank God for the valleys
That he takes me through at times;
For valleys are the places where
God teaches the sublime.
...

My desire is to serve the Lord
And walk according to His Word
Many times I fail, but
He calls me 'friend'
...
