THE TREK FROM BABYLON

Oh joyless captives of Babylon

Remember God’s promise

The return of His only Son!

Light shining in total darkness

Abandon your idol worship

Only one deserves your praise

Let repentance rule your lips

Feast on fathomless grace

Claim redemption’s power and peace

Christ Jesus suffered and died for you!

Bow down to Him on bended knees

Rise up with steadfast faith anew

The Creator calls us to Mount Zion

Sanctification paves the only way

Through the blood of His beloved Son

Rejoice! for He is our hope every day!

“Go out from Babylon, flee from Chaldea, declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it out to the end of the earth; say, “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!””

Isaiah 48:20 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
