The sonnet reflects the unshakable assurance of God’s love as expressed in Romans 8:38-39, asserting that no force—death, life, angels, rulers, time, or powers—can separate believers from Christ’s love. It portrays this love as a radiant, enduring force, culminating in the image of God as a mighty warrior who triumphantly protects and defends His people against all adversaries.

No death, nor life, nor angels’ lofty flight,
Nor rulers stern with power’s fleeting rod,
Can tear us from the love of Christ our God,
Whose grace outshines the dark of endless night.
The present fades, the future holds no fright,
No powers vast, nor depths where fears abode,
Shall break the bond by heaven’s hand bestowed,
In Jesus’ name, our everlasting light.
Through storms of time, through trials yet unseen,
His love remains, a fortress firm and true,
A promise sealed where mortal hopes convene.
No force above, below, can rend in two,
The shield of Him, our Warrior strong and keen,
Who smites all foes with Heaven’s thunderous hue.
