The poem, inspired by James 4:8a (KJV) – “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you,” is a reverent and awe-filled celebration of the intimate relationship between a redeemed saint and Emmanuel, God with us. It portrays the majestic God of the universe stooping to meet the humble, seeking heart of a believer. The poem emphasizes the divine promise that as one draws near to God, He reciprocates with His presence, enveloping the saint in grace and love. Through vivid imagery of heaven’s light, seraphs’ songs, and the vastness of creation, it underscores the wonder of God’s nearness to a royally redeemed soul, affirming the transformative power of faith and the sacred proximity to the divine.

Based on James 4:8a (KJV) – “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”

In the hush of heaven’s holy light,
Emmanuel, the God of endless might,
Stoops from realms where seraphs sing,
To meet the heart that seeks its King.

Oh, royally redeemed, a saint made whole,
By grace divine, He claims my soul.
The God of stars, of seas, of skies,
Draws near to hear my humble cries.

“Draw nigh to God,” the Spirit calls,
Through sacred pages, mercy falls.
A step toward Him, with trembling awe,
And He descends, no veil, no flaw.

The universe’s Sovereign, vast and grand,
Holds this frail heart within His hand.
Emmanuel, God with us, so near,
His presence calms all doubt, all fear.

Oh, wondrous truth, my soul takes flight,
The King of glory bends to my plight.
I draw to Him, my Savior true,
And find His heart draws nearer too.

As saints redeemed, with royal claim,
We walk in grace, we praise His name.
For James declares, in love’s decree,
Draw near to God—He runs to thee.

  • Verse 4: Highlights the Holy Spirit’s empowerment and Christ’s grace as the source of strength in strife.
  • Verse 5: Emphasizes unity and perseverance under the cross until victory is achieved.
  • Verse 6: Concludes with a doxology, exalting Christ’s eternal reign and unending worship.

Refrain: Reinforces the themes with imagery of “victorious hope,” a “majestic King,” and “royal courage,” proclaiming “our faith unshaken in His name.”

Inspired by Jude 3

Summary of “Defenders of the Holy Faith, Clad in Celestial Resolve: A Grand Ode Based on Jude 3”

The poem, inspired by Jude 3, is a call to steadfastly defend the Christian faith as urged in the biblical text. It portrays believers as zealous guardians tasked with protecting the sacred truth of the gospel, which was entrusted to the saints. Despite challenges from falsehoods and skeptics, the poem emphasizes unwavering commitment to upholding the eternal light of Christ’s truth. It concludes with a rallying cry to proclaim and defend the faith with love and strength until Christ’s return, evoking themes of spiritual resilience, devotion, and divine hope.

Inspired by Jude 3

Beloved, rise with fervent zeal,
To guard the faith, the truth we feel.
Jude calls us, steadfast, to contend,
For sacred trust that knows no end.

Once delivered to the saints of old,
A treasure pure, more precious than gold.
With hearts ablaze, we stand our ground,
In Christ’s own truth, forever found.

Though shadows creep with subtle lies,
And doubters scorn beneath the skies,
We’ll hold the Word, unyielding, sure,
Its light eternal shall endure.

Contend, O soul, with love and might,
Proclaim the gospel’s holy light.
For faith entrusted, we’ll defend,
Till Christ returns, our hope, our end.

The Founders’ Faith Unchained: How the Bible Shaped America and a Rogue Deep State Sought to Divide It Through the Atheistic and Marxist Ideology of Church-State Separation by Debbie Harris

The poem asserts that the concept of separation of church and state is absent from the U.S. Constitution, portraying it as a fabricated notion pushed by rogue, godless deep state players who hate God and promote atheistic, Marxist ideology to divide America. It emphasizes that the nation was founded on biblical principles, with the Founders’ faith shaping its laws and liberty. The First Amendment only prohibits Congress from establishing a religion or restricting free worship, not from integrating faith into governance. The poem depicts the “wall of separation” as a myth, stemming from Jefferson’s private letter rather than constitutional law, and accuses those who champion it of trying to suppress the Bible’s influence. It concludes by affirming that America’s liberty and faith remain intertwined, undeterred by efforts to sever them, with no constitutional mandate for their division.

The Constitution’s text, so pure, so grand,
Carves no divide ‘twixt faith and land.
“Separation’s law,” they shout, they scheme,
Yet such a wall is but a dream.

On Bible’s truth our nation rose,
Its sacred light the Founders chose.
Their hearts, with godly wisdom fired,
Built liberty’s frame, by faith inspired.

No clause demands that faith retreat,
No line forbids where God and law meet.
Congress shall not establish, nor restrain,
Free worship—freedom’s core remains.

But rogue deep staters, God they spurn,
Hate fuels their hearts, their souls they burn.
They weave this myth, this “wall” they raise,
To tear faith down in godless craze.

Jefferson’s words, a private note,
Not law, yet schemers fiercely quote.
Their ruse would mute the Bible’s call,
And cast God’s truth beyond the wall.

Yet history stands, unyielding, sure,
Faith shaped the laws that still endure.
No split of church and state is found—
Just liberty on holy ground.

The Constitution’s Sacred Fire: Woven from Scripture’s Truth, Beset by Shadows of Marxist and Satanic Sway by Debbie Harris

The poem, titled “The Constitution’s Sacred Fire: Woven from Scripture’s Truth, Beset by Shadows of Marxist and Satanic Sway,” celebrates the U.S. Constitution as a divinely inspired document rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, while critiquing the governance of Bush, Obama, and Biden for allegedly undermining its values with Marxist and Satanic influences.

It portrays the Constitution as a timeless covenant, shaped by biblical concepts like original sin (informing checks and balances), the covenant tradition (inspiring “We the People”), human dignity (Genesis 1:27), and Mosaic law (guiding due process and justice). Specific references include Deuteronomy’s limits on power, Leviticus’ jubilee for equality, and Exodus’ Sabbath and oaths, reflecting the Founders’ reliance on Scripture for moral and structural guidance, as seen in Madison’s separation of powers and Adams’ emphasis on civic virtue.

The poem contrasts this sacred foundation with perceived threats: Bush’s wars, Obama’s policies, and Biden’s leadership are depicted as drifting toward Marxist and Satanic ideologies, eroding liberty through an overreaching state. Despite these challenges, the Constitution endures as a beacon of freedom, its biblical roots unyielding against temporal corruption. The poem calls for vigilance to preserve this “sacred fire” of liberty, blending reverence for the Constitution’s origins with a warning against modern betrayals.

Upon a hill, where freedom’s light
Was kindled in the heart of night,
A parchment born of sacred will,
The Constitution stands there still.
Its words, a covenant divine,
Where mortal hopes and truth align,
From quills of men who sought to frame
A nation lit by heaven’s flame.

From Genesis to Deuteronomy’s call,
The Bible’s echo shaped it all.
In Eden’s fall, the truth was clear:
Man’s heart is frail, yet God is near.
Original sin, the human stain,
Demands a check on power’s reign.
So Madison, with Scripture’s guide,
Crafted balance to stem the tide.

“Ambition counters ambition’s might,”
He wrote, as stars burned through the night.
From Moses’ law, where kings were bound,
In Deuteronomy’s truth profound,
The framers saw a republic’s form—
No tyrant’s rule, no despot’s storm.
Three branches stand, like Israel’s plan,
To guard the soul of mortal man.

The covenant of Abraham’s line,
Where God and people’s wills entwine,
Inspired the words, “We the People” rise,
A solemn bond beneath the skies.
Not contract cold, but sacred trust,
A higher law to lift from dust.
Like Israel’s tribes, both free and one,
Federalism’s work was thus begun.

In Genesis, man’s worth was sealed—
God’s image, dignity revealed.
No noble’s crown, no king’s decree,
Could bind the soul meant to be free.
From Leviticus, the jubilee’s grace,
Proclaimed equality’s rightful place.
Due process, drawn from ancient code,
Ensures the law’s fair, steady road.

The Sabbath’s rest, the oath’s true weight,
From Exodus, the Founders’ fate
Was shaped to honor truth’s command,
To build a just and righteous land.
No test of faith, yet faith’s deep root—
The Bible’s wisdom bore this fruit.
For Adams spoke, with sober voice,
“Morality’s our freedom’s choice.”

Yet shadows fall, as shadows must,
When virtue falters, turns to dust.
Some cry of Marxist schemes that creep,
Of Satanic wiles in governance deep.
From Bush’s wars to Obama’s pen,
To Biden’s reign, they warn of men
Whose policies, they claim, betray
The sacred truths of freedom’s day.

A state that grows, with iron hand,
To choke the soul of this free land.
They see in laws a crimson thread,
Of communist lies, where freedom’s bled.
A drift from God, from right, from law,
Where liberty’s bright star they saw
Now dims beneath a clouded veil,
As virtue’s strength begins to fail.

But still the Constitution stands,
Unbowed by time or mortal hands.
Its roots in Scripture, firm and deep,
A sentinel where angels keep.
Its beauty lies in tempered might,
In justice sworn to guard the right.
No president, no fleeting reign,
Can break its will or loose its chain.

From Franklin’s plea, with Proverbs’ call,
To Henry’s warnings in the hall,
The Bible’s voice was ever near,
To guide, to chasten, to revere.
Not theocracy’s rigid claim,
But moral truth to fan the flame
Of liberty, of law, of grace—
A nation’s hope, a people’s place.

So let us hold this sacred scroll,
This covenant of heart and soul.
For in its lines, God’s truth abides—
The right to live where freedom strides.
Through storms of strife, through schemes of men,
Its light will call us home again.
The Constitution, born of prayer,
Is freedom’s fire, eternal, fair.
