“GREAT IS THE LORD”

“But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!”” Psalm 40:16

Seek the kingdom of God and righteous truth

Hope and peace will be added to you

Rejoice and be glad in heaven’s treasure

The steadfast love of Jesus beyond measure

Salvation comes according to His promise

In Him find endless grace and faithfulness

When you seek Him with all your heart

For the Father has loved you from the start

It is the face of our Savior King we seek

Falling before His throne on bended knee

Our hearts rejoice forever in His salvation

Constant in prayer, patient in tribulation

Our salvation is only through Christ Jesus

His matchless love and mercy rescue us

By His fullness we receive grace upon grace!

“Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!”*

*Psalm 145:3

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
