A NEW THING

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43:19 ESV

Come desperate hearts chasing after something true

Behold Christ Jesus is making all things new

O Lord God ever renew a right spirit within me

Flood my heart and soul with your abundant mercy

Wash away all doubt, my pride and every sin

You are the way and the truth, teach me how to live

Create in me a clean heart, one chasing only after you

Every day of my life I will proclaim your selfless rescue

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path

Lead me on the highway of righteousness, hold me fast

Make me lie down in green pastures of joy and grace

Deliver me through this wilderness and make rivers in this

desert flowing with your glorious praise!

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
