Rise, O Patriots! A Thunderous Cry Against Godless Marxists Who Hate America and Mock the Cross – In Praise of Leaders Like Trump by Debbie Harris

Biblical Truth, Christian Poetry, Inspirational, Patriotic, Royally Redeemed

This lengthy classical rhyming poem is a passionate, fiery patriotic and Christian anthem that sharply contrasts two visions of American leadership and national destiny.

Core Themes and Structure:

  • It begins by celebrating true patriots who deeply love America, her freedoms, the flag, and the Christian faith centered on Jesus Christ as Savior. These are depicted as eagles and lions—strong, protective, and unyielding.
  • It unleashes intense disgust and righteous anger toward “compromised,” “godless,” and “Marxist” Democratic leaders (described as wolves in activist clothing, greedy traitors, serpents, and Judases). They are accused of hating America, mocking Jesus Christ and the Cross, betraying the nation, sowing division, and dismantling liberty for personal power and foreign ideologies.
  • The poem calls for burning through their lies with flames of truth and holy fire, exposing their “wicked,” “traitorous,” “black” hearts in vivid, merciless detail—no mercy is shown to these “vipers” and “wolves.”
  • It invokes Jesus Christ directly as the Light, Fortress, Shield, Sword, and ultimate Judge, pleading for heavenly fire and justice to consume the deceivers and reveal their sin.
  • In triumphant contrast, it praises leaders like Trump as a bold, fearless exemplar: a lionhearted fighter who defies elites, battles the “swamp,” rallies the people, defends the flag and the cross, and stands with unbreakable will and golden resolve.
  • The people (“we the faithful remnant”) are urged to rise with thunderous voices, stand unbowed, proclaim victory in Christ and country, and cast aside the traitors forever.
  • It closes on a note of hopeful triumph: America will rise from the ashes of treachery, justice will prevail, and true leaders who love both God and nation will endure—in the mighty name of Jesus.

Overall Tone and Purpose:
The poem is unapologetically militant, revivalist, and prophetic—blending Old Testament-style condemnation of evil with New Testament calls to faith and battle-hymn energy. It serves as both a scathing denunciation of perceived enemies and an inspiring call to arms for conservative, Christian patriots, positioning figures like Trump as divinely aligned defenders of faith, freedom, and America.

In essence: A holy war cry in verse—condemning godless betrayal, exalting Christ-centered patriotism, and raising the banner for Trump-like leadership to restore the republic

In halls where freedom’s banner waves so high,
True patriots rise, with hearts that never lie.
They cherish the land of the brave and the free,
Where stars and stripes dance eternally.

Not those who cloak in shadows of deceit,
With words of division, sowing discord’s heat.
Greedy and godless, calloused, immoral core,
They twist the truth to plant the bitter war.

Most are Marxist wolves in activist guise,
Posing as saviors while freedom slowly dies.
They spit on the flag, that red, white, and blue,
And mock our dear Savior, the Holy and True.

Compromised leaders, their souls a black stain,
Hating America, chilling her veins.
With venomous tongues they dismantle the dream,
Of liberty’s light, where faith’s rivers stream.

But we the people, in unity we stand,
Demanding true leaders with a loving hand.
Like eagles soaring o’er the mountain’s crest,
They guard our home, putting nation first and best.

No chains of ideology, no foreign thrall,
Just love for our country, answering the call.
Leaders like Trump, with fire and with might,
Defying the elite, igniting the fight.

From boardrooms to ballots, he strides unafraid,
Rallying the masses where true voices are raised.
Like lions he roars for the cross and the flag,
Unbowed by the storm, refusing to lag.
With golden resolve and unbreakable will,
He battles the swamp, stands towering still.

In flames of truth, we burn through their lies,
Exposing the veil where deception resides.
Their traitorous hearts, so wicked and black,
Pulsing with venom, no virtue intact.

Like serpents in Eden, they coil and they hiss,
Betraying the faithful, sealing doom with a kiss.
No love for the Savior, no honor for kin,
Just greed’s hollow echo where shadows begin.

O Savior, our Light, in Your glory we call,
Pierce through the darkness where traitors enthrall.
No more shall we whisper—Your name we proclaim,
Burning their falsehoods in Your holy flame!

Their wicked hearts quiver, exposed to Your gaze,
No mask can conceal their rebellious malaise.
They scorned Your cross, they mocked Your pure grace,
Now feel the inferno of righteous disgrace.

O Jesus, our Fortress, our Shield, and our Sword,
Unleash heaven’s fire on the foes of the Lord.
Reveal every serpent, every Judas within,
Let truth like a tempest consume all their sin.

We rise like the prophets, with thunderous cry,
Demanding true leaders who never deny—
The love for our nation, the grace from above,
Like eagles defending with unyielding love.

No mercy for wolves in the sheep’s humble guise,
Who despise our freedoms and heavenly ties.
In eternal disdain, we cast them aside,
For God and for country, our banners held high!

We stand in Your promise, unbowed and unafraid,
For America kneels where Your banner is raised.
No compromise lingers, no traitor prevails—
In Your mighty name, their empire now fails!

Rise up, O believers, with voices like thunder,
The Savior is coming—His justice no longer asunder.
Through lies they are ashes, their treachery dust,
In Christ and in country, we triumph, we trust!

In rhyme of old, this anthem we declare:
America rises, beyond their despair!
For leaders like Trump, we stake our sacred claim—
With fire, with faith, in the Savior’s great name!

What Avails Earthly Fame When Heaven Knows Not Thy Name? by Debbie Harris

bible, Biblical Truth, Christ Centered Devotionals, Christian Poetry, christianity, faith, god, Inspirational, jesus

The poem questions the true value of earthly fame and worldly recognition. It argues that achieving renown—through applause, laurels, trumpets, and titles—is ultimately meaningless and transient if one’s name remains unknown in heaven. Key ideas developed across the sonnet:

  • Quatrain 1: Fame may echo loudly on earth, but heaven’s records stay silent, ignoring even the most celebrated individuals.
  • Quatrain 2: Earthly honors (like the laurel crown) quickly fade, and while people may praise you, angels overlook you entirely.
  • Quatrain 3: Human reputation is fragile and illusory—like an inflated bubble or a painted shadow—destroyed in an instant by divine will, reducing all proud titles to nothing.
  • Couplet (resolution): The poet advises rejecting glory based on dust and time; instead, pursue a name written in heaven through divine love and true virtue.

In essence, the sonnet is a meditation on vanity and spiritual priority: mortal fame is hollow without eternal acknowledgment from God/heaven. It echoes biblical themes (e.g., Ecclesiastes’ “vanity of vanities”) while using classic Shakespearean imagery of transience, bubbles, shadows, and withering crowns to drive home the contrast between fleeting human praise and lasting heavenly recognition.

Mark 8:36 (KJV): For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Shall fame upon this fleeting earth aspire,
With trumpets loud and golden echoes blown,
When heaven’s scrolls lie silent to the lyre,
And know thee not, though all the world hath known?

What avails it then, to wear the laurel crown,
That withers ere the morrow’s sun be high?
The multitude may cast their praises down,
Yet angels pass thee with unseeing eye.

For mortal breath inflates the bubble name,
A painted shadow dancing on the wall;
One breath of God, and all returns to flame—
The proudest titles into nothing fall.

Then seek no glory writ in dust and time;
Let heaven learn thy name in love sublime.

Christ-Created Nature, Christian Poetry, Christmas, Praise, worship

Stanza 1
In Bethlehem’s soft night, beneath the star’s bright gleam,
A virgin bears the Son in lowly manger scene;
The angels wake the shepherds from their midnight dream,
And heaven’s courts resound with seraphic theme.
The Word made flesh, eternal Light in human guise,
Descends to claim the lost beneath repentant skies.
O Gift beyond all gifts that mortal heart could prize—
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Stanza 2
The shepherds haste to see the Babe in swaddling bound,
Where humble beasts keep watch in silence all around;
“Glory to God!” the angelic host has now proclaimed,
And peace on earth to men of good will named.
No palace gates, no throne of gold receive their King,
Yet choirs invisible His praises loudly sing.
The Lamb who takes our sin has come, redeeming,
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Stanza 3
From Eastern lands the Magi journey long and far,
Drawn by the radiant light of yonder guiding star;
They bring their royal treasures to the Child divine,
And kneel before the King in humble, reverent line.
Gold for His crown, sweet incense for His deity,
Myrrh for the bitter cup He soon must drink for thee—
All earthly kings must bow before eternity:
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Stanza 4
Emmanuel—behold, our God with us abides,
The Infinite in mortal flesh now veiled resides;
He bears our grief, He carries all our sorrow’s weight,
To heal the broken heart and open heaven’s gate.
O boundless mercy shown in this most wondrous birth,
O love unfathomable come to ransom earth!
The Hope of every age has dawned upon our mirth:
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Stanza 5
From cradle unto cross His sacred path He trod,
To offer up Himself, the spotless Lamb of God;
Yet Christmas light foretells the triumph of the morn
When death itself lies vanquished and its sting is torn.
The Babe who sleeps in Mary’s arms shall rise again,
And reign victorious over Satan, death, and sin.
All hail the conquering King who breaks the captive’s chain:
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Stanza 6
All fleeting gifts of earth grow dim and fade away
Beside the priceless Pearl that shines in endless day;
No joy the world can give compares with knowing Him,
No treasure equals Christ, the bright Seraphic Gem.
He is the living Fount from whom all blessings flow,
The Alpha and Omega, whom angels long to know—
Eternal Gift of God to mortals here below:
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Stanza 7
Arise, O Church, and sing through every age and clime,
Proclaim the Savior’s name beyond the bounds of time;
From Christmas dawn until the final trumpet sounds,
Let ceaseless praise ascend where grace and truth abound.
Worthy the Lamb once slain, now crowned in majesty,
To reign forevermore in glorious victory—
All heaven and earth adore Him through eternity:
Jesus Christ, our Lord, forever reigns on high!

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let earth and heaven raise the strain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The King is born of David’s royal line!
Jesus Christ, the Gift above all earthly gifts,
Everlasting Joy, the Savior of us all—
Hallelujah! Glory everlasting be
To Christ the Lord, who sets His people free!

Christian Poetry, Christmas Poem, Inspirational

This exuberant, Christ-centered Christmas poem joyfully celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ as the central event of history and the source of all true joy.

It begins with the wondrous night in Bethlehem, marked by the radiant Star guiding the world to the Savior. Angels burst forth in glorious song, proclaiming “Glory to God in the highest!” The poem then invites us to behold the humble manger where Mary holds the King of Light, surrounded by Joseph, awestruck shepherds, and gift-bearing Wise Men.

With leaping hearts, we are called to rejoice in Christ’s incarnation—His coming to conquer sin, bring peace, and offer unending grace. Traditional symbols like holly wreaths, glowing candles, and twinkling lights proclaim His arrival and the truth of “Emmanuel—God with us.”

The poem crescendos in triumphant praise: hallelujahs and shouts of glory to His holy name, as believers celebrate with free and overflowing hearts the eternal Redeemer.

In essence, it is a vibrant declaration that Christmas is not merely a season, but the eternal reason for joy: Christ is born—rejoice forevermore!

In Bethlehem’s quiet night, under a sky ablaze with wonder,
A star bursts forth in radiant splendor!

Angels descend in glorious throng,
Singing with exuberant joy, “Glory to God in the highest!”

Behold the manger, humble and bright,
Where Mary cradles the King of Light!
Joseph stands guard, shepherds draw near,
Wise men approach with gifts sincere.

Oh, leap for joy, you hearts of earth!
Christ Jesus comes—our Savior’s birth!
He conquers sin, He brings us peace,
His love and grace shall never cease!

Wreaths of holly, candles aglow,
Proclaim His coming, let praises flow!

Lights twinkle bright in festive cheer,
For Emmanuel—God is here!

Sing hallelujah! Shout and proclaim:
All glory, honor to His holy name!
This Christmas day, with hearts exuberant and free,
We celebrate our Redeemer—eternally!

Merry Christmas—Christ is born! Rejoice forevermore!

A Glorious Christmas Tribute to Jesus Christ: The Eternal King of Kings and Lord of Lords Born in Bethlehem’s Manger” is a devotional Christmas poem that celebrates the Incarnation and divine majesty of Jesus Christ. The poem opens with the humble Nativity scene: the eternal King of Kings and Lord of Lords lying in a manger under the guiding star, worshipped by angels and shepherds despite His lack of earthly splendor. It emphasizes the mystery of the Incarnation—the Eternal Word becoming flesh to redeem humanity from sin. Subsequent stanzas exalt Jesus with biblical titles: Prince of Peace, Alpha and Omega, Living Bread, Saving Word, and Lamb of God. It recalls the Magi’s gifts foreshadowing His death and kingship, and proclaims His virgin birth, divine nature, and atoning sacrifice. The poem culminates in joyful adoration, offering glory, laud, and honor to Christ the eternal King, with a plea for Him to reign in believers’ hearts. It closes on a triumphant note of worship, inviting all to bless the majestic Lord of Lords on Christmas night and forever. Overall, the poem is a heartfelt hymn of praise that contrasts Christ’s humble birth with His supreme sovereignty, inviting readers to rejoice in the Savior’s coming and eternal reign.

In Bethlehem’s humble manger low,
Beneath a star that burned with heaven’s glow,
The King of Kings in swaddling lay,
The Lord of Lords, the Light of Day.

No crown of gold upon His brow,
Yet angels sang and shepherds bowed;
The Eternal Word in flesh appeared,
To conquer sin and dry each tear.

O Jesus Christ, Thou Prince of Peace,
Thy love shall never fade nor cease;
From David’s throne Thou reign’st supreme,
Redeemer of the world’s lost dream.

The wise men brought their gifts of praise,
Foreseeing glory through endless days;
Myrrh, frankincense, and gold they bore
To worship Him whom heavens adore.

Thou art the Alpha and Omega, Lord,
The Living Bread, the Saving Word;
By virgin born, yet God divine,
Thy blood has made the sinner Thine.

All glory, laud, and honor be
To Christ the King eternally;
Hosanna in the highest strain—
Come, reign in us, and reign again!

This Christmas night we lift our song
To Thee, O Lamb, where saints belong;
Forever crowned with majesty,
Our King of Kings, our Lord of Lords—bless Thee!

The Wonder That the Maker Dwells Within the Made When Redeemedby Debbie Harris

Summary of the Poem
Emmanuel: The Wonder That the Maker Dwells Within the Made When Redeemed

The poem is a sustained hymn of awe at the twin mysteries of the Incarnation and the indwelling Christ.

It begins with the Nativity: heaven stooping to earth, the eternal Word becoming a helpless infant in Mary’s womb and Bethlehem’s manger, hailed by angels yet unrecognized by the world.

It then celebrates the meaning of “Emmanuel” (God with us): the tearing of the veil, the end of our exile, and the astonishing reality that the same God who lay in a manger now chooses to live inside believing hearts.

The central wonder is repeatedly sounded: the Infinite contracts to the size of a human span, the Ever-Strong willingly takes the form of weakness for our salvation, and the Creator of the stars makes His throne inside frail, sinful human beings. No cathedral could contain the glory that now quietly resides in the believer’s breast.

The poem closes with an exultant response: though our voices are small and our hearts once were wilderness, every pulse now confesses its hidden Guest, and the soul is moved to perpetual praise because Emmanuel (God with us, God in us) has made the human heart His chosen, eternal home.

In essence, it is a lyrical meditation on the staggering truth that the One who was born in Bethlehem has been reborn in us, turning dust into temple and sinners into sanctuaries of the living God.

O silent night, when heaven stooped to earth,
A maiden’s womb became the gate of light;
The Word made flesh, of uncontested worth,
Lay cradled low beneath the stars’ pure sight.

No crown of gold upon His infant brow,
Yet seraph hosts in trembling rapture sing;
The Shepherd-King, who left His throne to bow,
Hath come to make our mortal hearts His wing.

Emmanuel! The name like incense burns,
God with us now, no longer far above;
The veil is rent, the exile’s heart returns,
And finds its home within eternal Love

.O marvel past the reach of seraph’s song:
The Infinite contracts to span a span;
The Ever-Strong takes weakness for our wrong,
Yet fills with boundless might the heart of man.

Within this cage of dust and fleeting breath,
The Lord of glory deigns to make His throne;
Beyond the grasp of darkness and of death,
Christ walks the secret chambers of my own.

What cathedral vault, what marble dome
Could hold the splendor that my heart now keeps?
The Maker of the stars hath found a home
Where once my trembling, sinful spirit weeps.

O grace too vast for angel minds to scan!
O love too deep for time or tongue to trace!
The great I AM dwells in the heart of man,
And turns a wilderness to holy place.

Then sing, my soul, though voice be poor and small;
Let every pulse confess its hidden Guest;
Emmanuel! My Lord, my Life, my All,
Hath come, and made my heart His chosen rest.

Glory to God in the highest, with us, within us, forever.

Beneath the Star That Outshone Every Crown and Led the World to Bethlehem by Debbie Harris

08 Monday Dec 2025

Christian Poetry, Inpirational

When winter’s night lay deepest, cold, and long,
A star came stooping from the fields of heaven;
Its beam fell soft, yet pierced the dark like song,
And made the hoarfrost glow as light was given.

The oxen stood in silence, breathing steam,
Like ancient watchers round a hidden flame;
Their eyes reflected what no tongue may dream,
The Word made flesh, who soon would bear our name.

There in a manger rough with splintered wood,
Lay Love incarnate, small and poorly clad;
Yet kings knelt low where simple shepherds stood,
And offered treasure to the Child they had.

Gold for His kingship, though He wore no crown,
Frankincense ascending like a prayer,
Myrrh for the grave that waited to drag down
The Lord of Life—who triumphed even there.

The night was cruel, the wind was bitter-sharp,
Yet mercy opened wide its iron door;
An angel choir struck heaven’s silent harp,
And glory sounded where was none before.

Therefore we sing through centuries of snow,
Of One who came a Babe, and comes again;
The empires crumble, still the carols grow—
“Peace upon earth, good will toward men.” Amen.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo: A Triumphal Hymn of Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men by Debbie Harris

Christmas

Glory to God in the highest rings,
The shining cohorts cry;
Their thousand wings eclipse the stars,
Their anthem storms the sky.

Glory to God! Let seraphs blaze,
Let morning stars accord;
The courts of light with thunder shake
To laud the sovereign Lord.

Glory to God! His throne is set
Above the crystal sea;
All heaven bows, all worlds beneath
Proclaim His majesty.

And on earth peace—His heralds sing—
The Prince of Peace is born;
The sword is sheathed, the curse undone,
This victorious morn.

Good will toward men! The favour falls
Like dew on Zion’s hill;
The guilty hear the voice of love,
The wounded heart is still.

Glory to God! The song ascends
From manger-cradled sod,
And swells through time, and bursts the grave,
And thrones the risen God.

Glory to God in the highest—still
The ransomed hosts repeat;
Peace reigns on earth, good will abides,
The triumph is complete.

Amen, amen! Let ages roll,
Let empires rise and fall;
This strain alone shall never die—
All glory be to God of all!

Verse 1
The eternal Light has come to men,
Born in the midnight deep;
The Word made flesh in Bethlehem
Fulfills what prophets keep.
A stable holds the King of kings,
The heavens bow before Him;
All glory be to Christ who brings
Redemption’s open door hymn.

Refrain
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Verse 2
The shepherds heard the angel throng
Proclaim the wondrous birth;
They hastened where the Child was laid
And spread the news on earth.
No palace cradle, straw His bed,
Yet there the Lord reposes;
The Lamb of God, the Living Bread,
In lowly manger closes.

Refrain
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Verse 3
From eastern lands the wise men came,
Led by the star’s bright ray;
With gold and myrrh and frankincense
They worshiped and obeyed.
The Gentile world now finds its King,
The nations see salvation;
Let every tongue His praises sing,
Let every heart’s ovation.

Refrain
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Verse 4
The heavens rang with angel song,
The skies were filled with light;
Yet Mary pondered everything
Within her heart that night.
O silent Mother, full of grace,
Who kept the sacred treasure,
Thy Son shall save the human race
Beyond all time and measure.

Refrain
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Verse 5
The ancient curse is broken now,
The serpent’s head is crushed;
In David’s town, the promised Child
Has hushed the world once hushed.
No more shall darkness hold its sway,
The Dayspring shines forever;
The Light of Life has dawned today,
And night shall fall, no never.

Refrain
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Verse 6
Come, sinner, leave thy guilt behind,
Come, weary, find thy rest;
The Savior born this holy morn
Invites thee to His breast.
The door of mercy open stands,
The feast of love is ready;
Lift high thy voice, lift high thy hands,
Thy Savior comes in steady.

Refrain
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Verse 7
When years have passed and ages roll,
When sun and stars grow dim,
Still shall the Church with one accord
Sing this eternal hymn.
Till Christ shall come in glory bright
To end all earthly story,
We’ll sing through endless day and night:
All glory be His glory!

Refrain (sung twice to close)
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Sing, O sing the ageless story:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Glory, glory in the highest—
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
