“HE TURNS A DESERT”

“He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.”

Psalm 107:35 ESV

Do you not perceive it, now it springs forth

Behold the Lord of all is doing a new thing!

Those who are sanctified have one source

All praise to Christ Jesus, the King of kings!

Our Shepherd makes a way in the wilderness

Living water flowing out of His merciful heart!

Up from the ground springs His faithfulness

Rivers of righteousness in a desolate desert!

The Lord, our God, will guide us continually

Repent and He is faithful to forgive us our sins

Multiplying to us His love, peace and mercy!

In a parched land we shall be a watered garden

Jesus rescues us even in this scorched place

Drink His redeeming water and never thirst again!

For we have been saved through faith by grace!

Springs of living water well up to eternity in Him!

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
