ONE DAY SOON

“Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.” Luke 8:40 ESV

You left an empty tomb to fill my empty heart

Love and mercy flowing from each wound

How I wish I had known You from the start

Lord Jesus, please return one day soon

You bore all my sins on the Cross to redeem

Imparting your righteousness to the unworthy

Suffering the stripes and nails meant for me

The lame now walk and the blind can see

You left an empty tomb to fill my empty heart

Love and mercy flowing from each wound

How I wish I had known You from the start

Lord Jesus, please return one day soon

The Holy Spirit fills me with love beyond measure

Your joy cannot be contained in this earthly jar

My eternal hope is in my heavenly treasure!

God’s grace embodied in His only Son forever!

You left an empty tomb to fill my empty heart

Love and mercy flowing from each wound

How I wish I had known You from the start

Lord Jesus, please return one day soon!

“He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”Revelation 22:20 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
