THROUGH HIS POWER

Posted byRobert M. HinnenPosted inUncategorized

Oh Lord, there is a song ever in my heart and on my lips

Of Christ Jesus whom You sent to wash away my sins

So I praise You for saving me from my idolatry and pride

Repenting of the utter darkness inside me for which He died

He is the Light who rescued me from sin and death

So I proclaim Your mercy with each and every breath

For I am being changed from one degree of glory to another

By the righteous power of the Word of my Lord and Savior

But I, so unworthy, can never repay a debt that cannot be measured

Except by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, eternity’s treasure

For He is the promise and the hope to which I forever cling

God’s love filling each believer’s heart with joy everlasting

He is the Light who rescued me from sin and death

So I proclaim Your mercy with each and every breath

For I am being changed from one degree of glory to another

By the righteous power of the Word of my Lord and Savior

“And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 NASB

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
