The sonnet, titled “Who Is Like Our Christ, Whose Boundless Forgiveness and Holy Salvation Renew Us Evermore?”, is a poetic meditation on the unparalleled mercy, forgiveness, and transformative power of God, specifically through Christ, inspired by Micah 7:18. It exalts God’s unique nature, celebrating His ability to pardon sin, release burdens, and renew souls. The poem employs vivid imagery—mercy as a fountain, grace as a tide, love as dawn, and salvation as a holy flame—to depict God’s compassionate act of forgiving sins and transforming the faithful into new creations. The sonnet progresses from awe at God’s mercy to a specific focus on Christ’s salvific love, culminating in the declaration that His forgiveness and salvation remake believers, echoing the biblical concept of being “born again.” The King James Version (KJV) of Micah 7:18 underpins the sonnet’s themes: “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” This verse anchors the sonnet’s portrayal of a merciful God who delights in forgiveness, transforming the remnant into a renewed people through Christ’s holy salvation.

Who is a God like You, with mercy vast?
Your heart, a fount where pardon freely flows,
You cleanse the stain of sin from ages past,
And bid the soul in radiant freedom glow.
No wrath eternal clouds Your sacred face,
But love, like dawn, dissolves the night’s despair.
Your grace, a tide, sweeps guilt to boundless space,
And lifts the broken with a tender care.
The remnant kneels, their burdens You release,
Your delight in mercy shines as morning dew.
No idol matches You, no star’s caprice,
For only You forgive, and make anew.
O Christ of love, whose salvation forgives our sin,
Your holy flame remakes us, born again.
