Richard Merrell Poems

God hangs the earth upon nothing
He calls the stars by their name
One of them God has called 'Wormwood'
This star will bear a great flame.
...

Pure and simple is the way
To walk in the Lord,
Not in the academic way
But simply by the Word.
...

If sixty seconds make a minute
And sixty minutes an hour
What's in time for you to do?
But to tell of God's great power.
...

For there are many preachers
That show a comedy,
They also use theatrics
But it pulls no weight with me.
...

'Thy seed shall bruise the serpent's head'
God did say to Eve;
This the Lord spoke of the 'Messiah'
On whom we must believe.
...

My high priest is messiah Yeshua
He sits at God's right hand,
The one and only mediator
Between God and fallen man.
...

Prayer is for praising God
Thank Him for what He's done;
Cleansing you from your sin
By the free gift of His Son.
...

To believe a man is dispensable
Is Concentration Camp thought,
Therein is no mercy
For love has come to nought.
...

Dedicated to the memory of my grandmother
Maude Constance Gladys Merrell
Though having never met for she died at an early age
I feel I missed the better part.
...

I was standing in a crowd one day
And there was such a din
Everyone was crying out
'Away and crucify Him'
...
