THE ROAD TO THE SON

Looking back I can see how far I have come

Winding is the rutty road that led me to the Son

So many twists and turns to arrive at this place apart

Great the sacrifice of Him in Whom grace had its start

How is it that He knew each faltering step I would take

Some forward, some backwards, so many mistakes

Ever narrow and straight the path that leads me now to the Cross

Great the toll paid by His atoning blood for the lost

This free gift of His amazing love pointing the one true way

Rejoicing in His peace and joy, I am renewed with each step I take

Every obstacle by Christ Jesus’ righteous right hand is overcome

Paving the next stage of my life’s journey with God’s only Son

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

Psalms 16:11 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
