THIS I KNOW

Jesus loves me

Though I am unworthy

He is the Living Word

My crucified and risen Lord

Washing my sins away

Grace upon grace

A debt beyond measure

Mercy’s triumphant treasure

Jesus loves me

Though I am unworthy

Stumbling in total darkness

Transformed by righteousness

My hardened heart of stone

The Holy Spirit made His throne

I am redeemed by this love so great

God’s only Son died to save!

Jesus loves even me

Though I am unworthy

His promises are ever true

Nothing more I must do

Praising Him on bended knee

Faith is all I need

Joyfully awaiting His royal return

I claim the reward I did not earn

For Jesus loves me!

This I know

He is worthy, worthy, worthy!

“For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”

John 1:16 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
