ABOVE ALL

Oh Lord God I find joyful rest only in You

I rejoice in the majesty of Your creation

The sun and ocean proclaim Your truth

Displaying power beyond comprehension

How is it that You love one as lowly as me

So small, so insignificant walking this earth

Compared to the universe and all eternity

I live in awe of You and consider my worth

That You sent Your only Son for my rescue

To suffer and die for my sins on a cruel tree

Such mercy and grace to redeem me to You

Your righteousness overwhelming my treachery

But the Gospel story does not end on Calvary

Or with Your only Son lying in a borrowed grave

Christ Jesus conquered death that I should see

How great is Your love above all

that I am saved!!

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved”

Ephesians 2:4-5 ESV

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
