The poem, presented as A Majestic Sonnet Declaring That a Nation Shall Rise in Greatness by Exalting Jesus Christ, Following the Holy Bible, and Embracing His Most Holy Ways, is a poetic call for a nation to achieve greatness through faith. It portrays a people bowing to God’s command (Psalm 95:6, “Come, let us bow down in worship”), blessed as a land where He reigns as King (Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”). The Bible is their shield (Ephesians 6:16, “the shield of faith”), guiding them through trials to a promised home (John 14:2-3, Christ preparing a place). God’s glory envelops them (Exodus 24:17, His glory as a consuming fire), and their greatness dawns by exalting Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:9-11, every knee bowing to His name) and living His holy ways (1 Peter 1:15, “Be holy, for I am holy”). It’s a fearless anthem of praise, rooted in scripture, for a righteous nation.

A nation bows beneath the Lord’s command,
For blessed is the land where He is King,
His chosen flock, upheld by sovereign hand,
In psalms of grace, their fervent voices ring.
Through trials fierce, we cling to faith unbowed,
The Bible’s word, our shield against the fray,
No storm can break the promise He avowed,
To guide us home along the narrow way.
“Blessed is the nation,” scripture cries aloud,
Whose God is Lord, whose heart in trust abides,
From sea to sea, His glory shall enshroud,
A people free, where righteousness resides.
So fearless, let us lift His name in praise,
Greatness dawns through Christ’s most holy ways.
