I AM FORGIVEN

I cannot do anything without You, O Lord

Though I have tried to make it on my own

My hope lies entirely in Your Living Word

Redeeming forever this heart of stone

Repenting of my sins on bended knee

I look to the beacon of Your abundant mercy

The Cross, that awesome and cruel tree

Always reminded You died there for me

Then You defeated death that I might live

Such amazing love I cannot fully comprehend

All sufficient grace ever ready to forgive

I rest in Your tender embrace that has no end!

“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”

Psalm 32:1 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
