The sonnet is a heartfelt expression of devotion to God, portraying Him as a sovereign King whose grace, love, and guidance uplift the speaker. Structured as a Shakespearean sonnet, it uses regal imagery—crowns, thrones, scepters—to depict God’s majesty and eternal protection. The speaker reflects on being freed from darkness, clothed in mercy, and blessed abundantly, culminating in a vow to live as a loyal servant under God’s timeless authority. The tone is reverent, joyful, and humbly submissive, celebrating divine love and the promise of eternal service.

Oh, Lord, my heart doth swell with love for Thee,
Thy grace, a royal gift, hath set me free.
In Thee, my King, I find my sovereign light,
Thy boundless love, a crown of pure delight.

Thou art my liege, my castle, and my throne,
In tempests fierce, Thy scepter guides me home.
With every step, Thy royal guard doth stand,
Thy steadfast love, a kingdom’s promised land.

For Thou hast raised me from the depths of night,
And robed me in Thy mercy’s golden light.
In Thee, my cup of joy doth overflow,
A river rich with blessings Thou bestow.

So let my life, a loyal subject be,
To serve Thee, Lord, beneath Thy timeless crown.
