“TO THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE”

The Gospel is revealed in Scripture alone, accomplished by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone to the glory of God alone. (from “The Beauty of Divine Grace” by Gabriel Fluhrer)

O’ God,

Thank You for breathing out Your Word

Christ Jesus our Savior and risen Lord!

Your promises are trustworthy and true

Behold, You will make all things new!

Salvation is by Your awesome grace alone

Drawing the unworthy to Your holy throne

All sinners who truly repent and believe

Turn from darkness to bend the knee

The lost now found are saved by faith alone

Not by any good thing we have ever done

Let us take up the shield that You will use

To end evil’s darts and share the Good News

Thank You for sending us Your only Son

Through Him the victory is already won

For he is our blessed hope of salvation

The righteous judge of every nation

The sacrifice of love that brings You glory

The humble lamb author of mercy’s story

Inspires us to offer You thankful praise

Then forever when we meet Jesus face to face!

Amen.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 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
