This triumphant Shakespearean sonnet, inspired by Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) — “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” — exults in God’s victorious mercy and unwavering faithfulness. It portrays His love as a powerful force that lifts us from despair, banishing darkness with each new dawn. The poem celebrates how His compassion triumphs over trials, heralding a glorious redemption that resonates through every heart. With a tone of joyous victory, it concludes by calling all to proclaim His great faithfulness as our eternal rest.

The Lord’s great mercies lift us from the flame,
We are not lost, nor swallowed by the night,
His compassions, boundless, stake their claim,
A dawn of grace that banishes all fright.

Each morn they rise, anew, in glorious might,
A victor’s song o’er sorrow’s fleeting reign,
No storm can dim His love’s resplendent light,
For faithfulness, our banner, shall remain.

Through trials fierce, His mercy stands supreme,
A trumpet blast to herald endless day,
Our hearts rejoice, redeemed by heaven’s gleam,
In every breath, His triumph leads the way.

So raise the cry, let every voice attest,
Great is His faith, our everlasting rest!
