Analysis of Rebellious Deliverance



Who makes a way in the sea,
A path in mighty waters;
That believers can be free,
For their sons and daughters.

Who brings chariot and horse,
Drowns armies of warriors;
They lie down to stay the course,
Scouts are sent as couriers.

They shall not rise till the dawn,
The fire is extinguished;
When the quenched wick is gone,
As the new path is distinguished.

Remember not former things,
Nor consider things of old;
Only of what the Lord brings,
As His plan starts to unfold.

Behold, He does a new thing,
And now it is springing on;
Do you know what it will bring?
Perceiving of a new dawn.

He makes way through the desert,
Guiding through the wilderness;
A pathway that will divert,
For avoiding any stress.

The wild beast will honor,
For He gives water to drink;
And those being a fawner,
That their minds take time to think.

The people whom He did form,
That they might declare His praise;
Through misfortune and the norm,
In honor to Him always.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
