Richard Merrell Poems

The Sun goes black as sackcloth
The Moon it gives no light
Men scream out in anguish;
Their hearts fail them for fright.
...

Oh no, I'm left behind
I wish that I had not been blind
To what Christian people said,
'Believe on the Messiah and be not dead.'
...

Should I add to the Rod
The pain my Saviour bore
Should I add to the Rod
And hurt Him all the more?
...

He's more than enough
My Saviour,
More than enough for me
He's more than enough
...

Rain is falling gently
Thank God for it I must,
He causes it to rain upon
The wicked and the just.
...

I have committed a great sin
Against the Lord my God,
And against those that say, 'they love me'
But I have repented, God has forgiven
...

There are two cords in Scripture
The first one speaks of death,
A silver cord which breaks
When a man draws his last breath.
...

One Corinthians fourteen
Speaks the commandments of the Lord
About the use of speaking in tongues
And not going overboard.
...

'If you love me keep my word'
Yeshua the Lord did say
For an answer to your problems
This is the ONLY way!
...

My body to the grave will go
Down in a wooden box
Laid to rest in comfort
Wearing shoes and socks.
...
