FIND REST FOR YOUR SOUL

“Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 6:16 ESV

Stand firm by this road, and see

A repentant heart and saving faith

Exalting the God of grace and peace

Seek always this sure ancient path

He is the way, and the truth, and the life!

Lift up your eyes to His holy hill

From where unmerited help comes

God has mercy on whomever He wills

He so loved the world He gave His only Son

He is the way, and the truth, and the life!

In all your ways make Him known

Jesus came not to call the righteous

He makes straight our path to His throne

For the Lord calls sinners to repentance

He is the way, and the truth, and the life!

Christ Jesus is gentle and lowly in heart

His burden is light and His yoke is easy

For the gospel of God we are set apart

In Him find rest for your soul with surety

For He is the way, and the truth, and the life!

Stand firm by this road, and see

A repentant heart and saving faith

Exalting the God of grace and peace!

Seek always this sure ancient path!

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
