And breathes in us eternal breath.
Victorious Lord, His anthem soars,
O’er mountains high and distant shores.
No power can dim His glorious reign,
In Christ, our hope shall rise again!

Through Christ, our Savior, God’s own Son!
Triumphant, holy, ever true,
His love shall carry us anew.

The poem “The World’s Deep Need for Jesus Christ, the Eternal Savior of the Holy Bible” expresses the profound longing of a broken world for Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible. It portrays a world lost in darkness, chaos, and sin, unable to find lasting hope in earthly powers or possessions. Jesus, the Son of God, is presented as the ultimate solution—born humbly, crucified for humanity’s sins, and risen as the triumphant King. His life, teachings, and sacrifice offer redemption, healing, and eternal life to all. The poem calls the world to turn to Christ, the only source of truth, light, and salvation, capable of transforming hearts and restoring hope across all nations.
In a world of shadows, fractured and torn,
Where hearts grow faint and hopes are worn,
A cry resounds through time’s vast span,
For Jesus Christ, God’s perfect plan.
The Bible sings of Him alone,
The Cornerstone, the Living Stone.
From Bethlehem’s cradle, humble and small,
To Calvary’s cross, He gave His all.
Through dusty roads, He walked with grace,
His words of truth, a warm embrace.
The blind could see, the lame could run,
The dead arose—God’s only Son.
In every age, the heart’s deep ache,
No earthly power can overtake.
For wealth and fame, though loudly sold,
Leave empty souls in winter’s cold.
Yet Jesus stands, the open door,
His mercy flows forevermore.
The Lamb who died, the King who reigns,
He breaks our sin, He looses chains.
The world in chaos, blind with pride,
Needs Christ, the Way, to turn the tide.
His blood redeems, His Spirit fills,
His love transforms the hardest wills.
From every nation, tribe, and tongue,
The lost are called, the battle won.
No darkness holds His piercing light,
No storm withstands His sovereign might.
Oh, world adrift in endless pain,
Lift up your eyes, behold His reign!
The Bible’s Christ, the Truth, the Life,
Restores the broken, ends the strife.
Eternal Savior, Risen King,
Let every heart His anthem sing.
For Jesus Christ, and Him alone,
Can lead the world to Heaven’s throne.

The sonnet explores living daily with God, finding His presence in all aspects of life. It highlights God’s trace in nature (dew, sparrows), human experiences (laughter, strife), and cosmic wonders (sunset, stars). Each moment, mundane or grand, reveals God’s mercy, love, and eternal light, with the speaker’s heart constantly connected to Him.
In morning’s glow, where sparrows weave their song,
Divine the hand that paints the dew on grass.
Each breath, a gift, where sacred joys belong,
In fleeting moments, holy truths amass.
Through crowded streets, in laughter or in pain,
God’s presence threads through chaos and through peace.
Each human heart reflects a spark divine,
Where whispered prayers bring solace and release.
The sunset’s blaze, the stars that crown the night,
Proclaim a love in patterns vast and true.
No shadow falls beyond God’s boundless light,
His voice resounds in sea and sky’s deep hue.
In all that moves, in all that holds its place,
The heart beholds God’s everlasting grace.

This Shakespearean sonnet celebrates the triumph of Jesus Christ over sin and Satan (the “serpent”) through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection. It describes how Jesus bore humanity’s sins on the cross, cleansing them with His blood, and faced death’s sting, only to rise from the tomb, defeating darkness. The poem emphasizes the fulfillment of the prophecy that the serpent’s power would be crushed, ensuring salvation and eternal life for believers. Through Christ’s ascension, the path to God is opened, securing victory over evil and offering divine redemption.
Beneath the weight of sin, the Savior bore
The cross, where love and justice intertwined.
His blood, a river, cleansed the ancient score,
The serpent’s venom thwarted, undermined.
In death, He faced the shadow’s cruelest sting,
Yet hell could not contain the King of Light.
The tomb, once sealed, now echoes with the spring
Of resurrection’s dawn, dispelling night.
The serpent’s head, foretold, lies crushed, undone,
Its fangs no more can pierce the soul’s repose.
Through Christ’s great triumph, victory is won,
His rising breaks the chains, the heavens’ prose.
Eternal life through Him is freely given,
The Son ascends, our path to God is opened.

The poem, titled A Poetic Lament for a World Adrift and a Call for Spiritual Revival Through Salvation in Jesus Christ, is a passionate cry against the spiritual decay of modern society. It critiques subjectivism, hyper-sensitivity, emotionalism, moral relativism, materialism, and immorality as forces fueling a spiritual war, influenced by Satanic deception. These elements lead humanity away from truth, chasing fleeting, hollow pursuits. The poem calls for a revival through repentance and embracing salvation in Jesus Christ, urging souls to awaken, confess their sins, and find redemption in His transformative love and truth. It emphasizes Christ as the sole path to righteousness, peace, and eternal life, culminating in a hopeful vision of spiritual renewal.
In shadows deep, where subjectivism sways,
Hyper-sensitive hearts forge fragile chains.
Emotions flood, truth’s firm shore decays,
Projection, deflection—guarding inner pains.
Moral relativism shifts like sand,
Satan’s whispers tempt the wav’ring hand.
Materialism blinds with fleeting glow,
Immorality reaps an empty show.
A spiritual war, unseen, yet stark,
Divides the soul, ignites the dark.
The world drifts far, in error’s sway,
Chasing hollow gods that fade away.
Oh, hear the call—revival’s flame ignite,
With repentance bold, we seek the light.
Embrace salvation, Jesus Christ confess,
His truth restores the path to righteousness.
Awake, O souls, from slumber’s fleeting dream,
Cling to the Cross, where grace and mercy stream.
In humble hearts, let sin’s old chains unwind,
Through Christ’s pure love, true revival find.
No longer bound by lies that once held sway,
The Savior’s call breaks through the night to day.
With contrite spirits, turn from sin’s cruel reign,
In Jesus’ name, find peace that shall remain.
Let every knee now bow, each heart proclaim,
The Lord of Life, eternal in His name.
Revive, O world, through Christ, the only way,
His love shall lead to everlasting day.

The poem, “Forgiven in Christ: A Call-and-Response Celebration of Victory for All to Join,” is a participatory piece designed for group settings. It features a leader reciting four stanzas about forgiveness in Christ—covering past, present, and future sins, and a victorious future—while the audience joins in with the refrain: “Forgiven, forgiven, in Christ I’m free! Victorious, victorious, His love lifts me!” Each stanza is introduced with a “Call to Gather and Proclaim,” and the poem concludes with a “Final Invitation for All Voices to Unite in Praise,” where everyone recites the refrain together, celebrating Christ’s mercy and victory.
Leader: In Christ, my past is washed, I’m set apart,
The chains of yesterday, they fall away,
His mercy mends my broken, weary heart,
A brand-new start with every breaking day.
Audience (refrain):
Forgiven, forgiven, in Christ I’m free!
Victorious, victorious, His love lifts me!
Leader: In Christ, my present sins are cast aside,
Each stumble met with grace I don’t deserve,
His love surrounds me like a rushing tide,
Through every trial, His peace will still preserve.
Audience (refrain):
Forgiven, forgiven, in Christ I’m free!
Victorious, victorious, His love lifts me!
Leader: In Christ, my future sins are swept from sight,
His cross has paid the price, the debt is clear,
Before I fall, His mercy shines so bright,
He lifts me up, I’ll never need to fear.
Audience (refrain):
Forgiven, forgiven, in Christ I’m free!
Victorious, victorious, His love lifts me!
Leader: In Christ, my future shines with endless light,
No fear can hold me, for His work is done,
My sins to come, He’s conquered in His might,
The battle’s won, the victory is won!
Audience (refrain):
Forgiven, forgiven, in Christ I’m free!
Victorious, victorious, His love lifts me!
Leader (final call):
Now let us sing, our voices raised as one,
Proclaim His love, His mercy, and His might!
All together (final refrain):
Forgiven, forgiven, in Christ I’m free!
Victorious, victorious, His love lifts me!

Summary of the Poem: The Fall of the Ivy League: From Godly Roots to Godless Rot
The poem laments the moral and spiritual decline of Ivy League schools, once founded on Christian principles and devotion to God’s Word. It describes their shift from nurturing faith and American ideals to embracing anti-God, immoral ideologies and rejecting patriotism. The Ivies are criticized for accepting funds from foreign entities hostile to America and Christianity, symbolizing their betrayal of sacred roots for material gain. The poem warns of their spiritual doom due to pride and calls for repentance, affirming that God’s truth will endure despite their fall.
Once rooted deep in sacred ground,
Ivy halls where God’s Word was found,
Harvard, Yale, with godly aim,
Birthed in truth, to fan faith’s flame.
Now shadows creep where light once stood,
Their hearts turned cold, forsaking good.
Anti-God rot, a creeping blight,
Morality scorned in endless night.
They spurn the Cross, embrace the void,
Virtue mocked, with truth destroyed.
American ideals, once held so high,
Now trampled low as flags run dry.
From foreign hands, the coin they take,
From those who hate, for hatred’s sake.
Nations that curse the land of free,
Fund their halls with enmity.
God’s name erased, His law defiled,
Patriot’s heart now scorned, exiled.
The Ivies bow to mammon’s call,
Their sacred roots now rot, and fall.
Yet truth endures, though men betray,
God’s Word will rise, no man can stay.
O fallen schools, repent, return,
Lest in your pride, you doom your soul.

Summary of the Sonnet: The Triumphant Proclamation of John 11:25 – Christ, the Resurrection and the Life

Hail, mighty King, whose voice o’er death prevails,
“I am the Resurrection and the Life!”
Thy royal edict storms the darkened veils,
And breaks the bonds of mortal sin and strife.
No crypt can bind the soul that bows to Thee,
Thy sovereign vow ascends in golden rays:
From ashes springs a glorious liberty,
A regal crown for faith through endless days.
With herald’s call, Thy truth illumes the skies,
A kingdom vast where life’s eternal throne
Shall lift the heart where hope will never die,
And joy resounds in majesty alone.
All praise the Lord, whose glory reigns supreme,
Our life, our light, our everlasting gleam!

The sonnet, titled “Sonnet on the Royal Tension of Holy Saturday, Where Grief’s Dark Crown Battles Hope’s Radiant Light”, is a Shakespearean sonnet (14 lines, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, iambic pentameter) that vividly captures the emotional and spiritual tension of Holy Saturday. It personifies grief and hope as royal figures—grief as a reigning king with a tear-stained crown and hope as an ascending prince in a golden gown—locked in a majestic struggle within the soul’s “kingdom.” Rich, opulent imagery, including sable robes, velvet gloom, pearls, and blazing stars, elevates the day’s liminal pause into a regal drama. The sonnet balances sadness for Christ’s death with exuberant anticipation of his resurrection, portraying the latter as a radiant light destined to triumph. Its victorious tone and grand imagery inspire awe, culminating in a celebration of joy’s imperial might that will crown the morning and dispel grief’s darkness.
O royal grief, you reign with tear-stained crown,
Your sable robes enshroud the heart’s domain,
Yet hope, a prince, ascends in golden gown,
To claim the throne where sorrow’s shadows wane.
The court of Holy Saturday holds its breath,
Where sadness weaves its dirge in velvet gloom,
But anticipation, clad in light’s own wreath,
Foretells a king whose rising shall illume.
No scepter stills this clash of night and dawn,
Each tear a pearl, each hope a blazing star.
The soul, a kingdom, trembles, torn, yet drawn
To trust the light that glimmers from afar.
Hail, sacred strife, where joy’s imperial might
Shall crown the morn and banish grief’s dark night!
