“STRIVE FOR PEACE”

“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

Hebrews 12:14 ESV

O Lord, our God, who is like you, majestic in holiness

Keep our hearts and minds always stayed upon you

You have blessed us with love and deeds so glorious

We hope in your perfect peace that is holy and true

Christ Jesus grants us peace not as the world gives

He died for our sins and gifts us his righteousness

Behold our Savior King crucified on the Cross lives!

Grace and peace through Jesus are multiplied to us

In the world we will always have trials and tribulation

We find peace in you for you have overcome the world

Exalting you, we worship you on your holy mountain

All praise to you, our awesome God and to your Word

Only you Lord are holy and the earth is full of your glory

Thank you for your mercy and for your grace saving us!

We put on love that binds everything in perfect harmony

All praise to our Savior and our Redeemer, Christ Jesus

O Lord, come fill us with all joy and peace in believing

We strive for your holiness and for peace with everyone

By the power of the Holy Spirit our hope is abounding

Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty who was, and is and is to come!

Amen!

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
