The poem, Royal Heirs of the King: Christ’s Presence in Our Hearts, a Sacred Blessing and Eternal Gift, celebrates believers as royal heirs of God’s kingdom, emphasizing the free gift of eternal life through Christ’s sacrifice. It portrays God’s grace as a divine currency, surpassing earthly riches, and underscores the sacred blessing and privilege of Christ’s presence dwelling in our hearts. Using royal imagery—crowns, scepters, and kingdoms—it conveys the exalted status of believers, secured by Christ’s redemptive love. The poem highlights that this presence and eternal life are unearned gifts, igniting the soul with divine light and guiding believers to seek Christ’s face as their ultimate joy and reward. The accompanying Scriptures (e.g., 1 Peter 2:9, Romans 6:23, Psalm 16:11) reinforce themes of royal priesthood, grace, and the joy of God’s presence.
On Being Royal Heirs
1 Peter 2:9 (ESV):
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
Romans 8:16-17 (ESV):
“The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”
On the Free Gift of Eternal Life
Romans 6:23 (ESV):
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV):
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
On God’s Presence as Our Delight and Reward
Psalm 16:11 (ESV):
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Colossians 3:23-24 (ESV):
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
On the Currency of Grace
Titus 3:5-7 (ESV):
“He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
Heirs of the Eternal Crown
Beneath the heavens’ boundless dome,
We walk as heirs of glory’s home.
No earthly gold could e’er compare,
To grace divine, our royal share.
A King of kings has called us near,
His boundless love dispels all fear.
Through crimson gift, His life outpoured,
We’re crowned as heirs, forever restored.
No scepter forged by mortal hand,
Can match the light of His command.
Eternal life, our treasure true,
A currency no thief breaks through.
In earthly toil, our hearts take flight,
Delighting in His holy light.
As royal heirs, we seek His face,
Our joy, our wealth, His boundless grace.
With every step, His presence reigns,
A kingdom vast within our veins.
O gift of God, our souls ignite,
His freely given life, our light.
Beneath the heavens’ boundless dome,

His freely given life, our light.
