O Holy Spirit, faithful Guide and Dove,
You never lead the soul where Scripture forbids.
Your gentle touch anoints with truth and love,
And never plants rebellion in our hearts or minds.

You will not call a woman to the role
Of shepherd, ruling over men in church;
Creation’s order stands — from Eden’s dawn —
Christ is the Head, and men reflect His worth.

You never lead a single soul to sin,
To break the vows of marriage or betray;
Your voice brings holiness and self-control,
Convicting us to walk the narrow way.

You do not need our money to release
A single blessing from the Father’s hand;
Grace flows unearned, through faith and not through fees —
No coin can buy what only God commands.

You give no guarantee of health or wealth
To every believer who calls on His name;
Some saints will suffer, carry thorns, or pain,
Yet find their strength and treasure still the same.

You do not force the tongue to speak in noise,
In unknown sounds that only one can know;
True gifts build up the church with ordered voice,
Or lift the heart in quiet prayer alone.

You never speak a word against the Book,
Never twist the Scriptures or contradict;
The Bible is Your lantern, truth Your light —
You guide us ever by what God has writ.

Great Spirit, guard Your church from every lie,
From teachings smooth that tickle itching ears;
Keep humble hearts in holy fear and awe,
And test each spirit till the truth appears.

For You are seal and guarantee and Guide,
Always pointing us to Jesus Christ the Lord —
In Him the Father’s perfect will abides,
Unchanging, pure, according to Your Word.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord (rhymed version) by Debbie Harris

An Original Rhymed Epic Poem
(ABAB rhyme scheme, iambic tetrameter)

In realms where earthly kingdoms fall
And fleeting empires turn to dust,
The Sovereign One reigns over all—
Jesus Christ, the faithful, just.

King of kings and Lord of lords,
Whose name is written high above,
He calms the sea with sovereign words
And reigns in everlasting love.

Whose people fix their gaze upon the Son,
Jesus Christ, by heaven adored,
The Chosen One, the Holy One.
In such a land true justice flows,

Like rivers deep and crystal clear;
Mercy touches suffering’s woes,
And truth dispels all doubt and fear.

From dawn of time when stars sang praise
At the Sovereign One’s command,
Jesus Christ in humble ways
Walked dusty roads across the land.

He touched the leper, gave sight to blind,
Called Lazarus forth from death’s cold tomb;
Upon the cross, with love refined,
He bore the nails, endured the gloom.

Blood and water freely flowed
As darkness veiled the noonday sun;
Yet death itself could not hold
The Prince of Life—the victory won.

The stone was rolled, the tomb stood bare,
Nail-scarred hands now intercede;
The Sovereign One ascended there,
Seated where all angels plead.

Its foundations rest upon the Stone,
The Cornerstone once cast aside;
Its leaders seek the throne of grace alone,
Its families walk in love outpoured and wide.

Its youth stand tall like cedars strong,
Its elders rest beneath almighty wings;
Its streets resound with grateful song
Of freedom born where mercy sings.

The Sovereign One extends scarred hands
And gently calls the weary soul:
“Come unto Me, in My command
Find rest that makes the broken whole.”

In answer, chains of sin release,
Freedom blooms in holy light;
The stranger finds a place of peace,
The hungry eat, the naked clothed aright.

When final trumpet shakes the sky
And clouds reveal the King of kings,
With eyes like flame and robe dipped high,
The Sovereign One His glory brings.

The holy city then descends,
Where no more tears or darkness fall;
The river of life forever bends,
And Christ, the Sovereign One, is all.

Let every heart across the land
Give heed to this eternal call:
True greatness lies not in fame or gold,
But humble trust in Christ alone,

That every tribe and tongue may hold
Communion with the Sovereign One.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord (blank verse) by Debbie Harris

In boundless realms where fleeting empires rise and crumble into dust,
The Sovereign One reigns eternal, high above all thrones and powers.
Jesus Christ, the Living Word who spoke light into the formless void,
King of kings and Lord of lords, whose name is written on the robe and thigh,
Holds the scepter of perfect righteousness and boundless grace.

No mortal crown, no iron fist, no glittering hoard of gold
Can rival this divine authority that calms the storm with a whisper
And causes the dead to stand at the sound of His voice.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
Whose people fix their gaze upon the Sovereign One,
Jesus Christ, exalted above every name in heaven and on earth.

In such a land, justice flows like a mighty river clear and deep,
Mercy touches the hem of the garment of the suffering and the outcast,
And truth shines as a beacon brighter than the noonday sun.
The Sovereign One watches over the humble with eyes that see every tear,
Lifts the weary soul from dust, and defends the fatherless and widow,
Writing upon the heart of a people an inheritance of unshakable peace.

From the dawn of creation, when stars sang at the Sovereign One’s command,
Jesus Christ stepped into time, born in a lowly stable yet wrapped in glory.
He walked dusty roads, touched lepers with hands of compassion,
Healed the blind with mud and spit, and called forth Lazarus from the tomb.
Upon a cruel cross, the Sovereign One bore the nails that pierced His hands and feet,
Blood and water flowing as the sun hid its face in darkness.

Yet death could not hold the Prince of Life—the stone was rolled away,
The empty tomb stood silent witness to victory over the grave.
Rising in power on the third morning, the Sovereign One ascended,
Seated now at the right hand of the Father, interceding with nail-scarred hands.
Angels veil their faces; elders cast their crowns before the throne.

Every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth shall one day bow,
Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Father’s glory.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
For in the Sovereign One alone does true flourishing take root.
Its foundations rest not on shifting sands of human schemes,
But on the Rock of Ages, the Cornerstone rejected yet chosen.

Its leaders kneel for wisdom before the throne of grace,
Its families reflect the steadfast love that flowed from Calvary’s hill,
Its streets echo with songs of redemption and awe-filled praise.
No tempest of adversity can uproot what the Sovereign One upholds,
No shadow of darkness can quench the light that streams from the empty tomb,
For blessing descends like morning dew upon the nation that honors Him.

The Sovereign One, Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords,
Extends hands still bearing the prints of the nails and speaks with gentle authority:
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
In answer, the nation that chooses this sovereign grace discovers freedom profound—
Freedom from sin’s iron chains, freedom to walk in holy, joyful purpose,
Freedom to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and welcome the stranger as kin.

Here the young grow strong like cedars planted by streams of living water,
The elders find rest beneath wings that shelter like the shadow of the Almighty,
And the whole people become a city set on a hill, reflecting the Sovereign One’s light.

When the final trumpet sounds and the Sovereign One returns in clouds of glory,
With eyes like flame and a robe dipped in blood, riding the white horse of conquest,
The nations shall stand before the throne where books are opened wide.
Yet for the people who have made the Sovereign One their God,
There awaits a new creation: the holy city descending, where no night falls,
No tear is shed, and the river of life flows crystal clear from the throne.

The tree of life bears fruit in every season; the curse is lifted forever.
Tyrants bow low, idols crumble into dust, and Jesus Christ reigns visibly,
King of kings, Lord of lords, making all things new.

Let every heart across every land give heed to this eternal declaration:
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
For its God is Jesus Christ, the Sovereign One,
Whose pierced hands redeem, whose justice perfects every wrong,
Whose presence transforms the wilderness into a garden,
And whose reign brings life abundant, now and for all eternity.

In this divine reality, true greatness is not measured by armies or treasuries,
But by humble, joyful allegiance to the One who gave Himself completely
That every nation, tribe, and tongue might taste the greatest blessing—
Communion with the Sovereign One, forever and ever.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

No Neutrality in Eternity’s Balance: For Our Lord Jesus Christ or Against Him – Repentance or Wrath, Heaven or Hell by Debbie Harris

Biblical Truth, Christian Poetry, Inpirational, Inspirational

There is no middle ground, no neutral shore,
No quiet fence where one can safely hide—
The line is drawn by Heaven’s holy sword:
You stand with Christ, or in the darkness bide.

He spoke it plain, the words that cut like flame:
“Whoever’s not for Me is set against.”
No half-way soul can play the neutral game—
Eternal stakes demand a full consent.

Born once of flesh, we enter stained and lost,
Children of wrath beneath the serpent’s claim;
But grace breaks in when sin is counted cost—
Repentance turns the key and calls His name.

The blood He shed on Calvary’s cruel tree
Cleanses the guilty who will humbly bow;
The Spirit breathes new life, and eyes now see—
A second birth that makes the dead one live.

Choose wisely, soul—tomorrow is not sworn;
This fleeting breath could be your final plea.
The narrow road to life, or broad to scorn—
Your destination hangs on “Lord, save me.”

He waits with open arms, not willing any
Should perish in the fire that never dies.
The choice is yours, but mercy calls today:
For Him… or lost forever. Decide.

A Victorious Hymn: Be Not Ashamed – Live Boldly, Share the Glorious Gospel That Defeats Satan and Saves Souls by Debbie Harris

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

O believer, rise! Let silence flee away,
The chains of fear dissolve in holy fire!
The One who bled upon the cursed tree
Now lives in thee with resurrection power.

He died for thee—thy ransom fully paid,
He loves thee deep, with everlasting love;
He delights o’er thee with singing, joy arrayed—
The Mighty One who saves, as prophets prove.

Like Zephaniah’s song of tender grace,
He quiets thee with love and sings aloud;
The Father’s heart exults in warm embrace,
Rejoicing o’er His child with joyful cloud.

Each time the glorious Gospel thou dost share,
The hosts of hell in terror shriek and flee;
Satan’s dark throne trembles in despair,
His demons routed by truth’s victory!

Be bold, O saint! Live out the Gospel bright,
In joyous triumph, fearless, unafraid;
Walk in the light of Christ’s eternal might,
And let His Word through every deed be displayed.

Proclaim the gift of salvation, free and true,
By grace through faith, not works that man has wrought;
For faith arises when the Word breaks through—
By hearing, hearing comes the truth Christ taught.

“I am not ashamed!”—let this thy motto ring,
Through crowded streets and quiet corners too;
The power of God for salvation it doth bring
To Jew and Gentile, old and young anew.

With holy boldness speak with authority:
“The Bible says!”—thus declare the sacred line;
Not soft tolerance that blinds the eye to see,
But truth that reproves all evil, stern and fine.

Call sin by name, and warn of hell’s dark gate,
Lest souls in slumber drift to endless night;
Yet offer hope—Christ saves from sin and wrath,
Turning the lost to everlasting light.

Boldly carry thy Bible—His living voice,
His sacred instructions, lamp unto thy feet;
In it He speaks, and bids thy heart rejoice,
Guiding thy steps till heaven’s joy complete.

O Church, awake! Proclaim the Savior’s name,
Transforming lives with news of grace divine;
In every tongue, in every land the same,
The Gospel triumphs—Satan’s kingdom declines!

Live victoriously, with banners high unfurled,
For Christ hath conquered, and in Him we stand;
Share boldly, love deeply, shine as lights in the world—
The darkness flees before the risen Lamb! Hallelujah!

The victory is won,
Through thee, dear believer, God’s kingdom comes.
Press on with joy till every battle’s done—
The King has come to offer salvation to all!

This is the glorious, transformative, victorious, triumphant good news:
Jesus saves!
