The sonnet “Held by Hands of Holy Might”, inspired by Psalm 62:5-7 (KJV)—”My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God”—conveys a profound trust in God as the sole source of hope and salvation. The speaker’s soul waits in silence, finding unshakable strength and refuge in God, portrayed as a rock, fortress, and shield against life’s storms. With divine might as a sustaining force, the poem celebrates a peace that illuminates freedom amidst chaos, affirming the speaker’s steadfast confidence in God’s protective care.

My soul in silence waits for God alone,
From Him my hope and expectation springs,
He is my rock, my fortress, and my throne,
A shield to guard me from all earthly stings.
Unshaken I shall stand through storm and strife,
For in His strength my wavering heart is stilled,
My refuge sure, my glory, and my life,
With holy might my spirit He has filled.
No force can move me from His steadfast care,
Salvation shines where peace has gently grown,
The rock of ages keeps me in His prayer,
My trust reposed in hands of living God.
So let the tempests rage, the shadows flee—
In Him alone my soul finds liberty.
