Title: “The Love of God”
Summary: This Shakespearean sonnet portrays the love of God as a divine garden, rich with floral imagery and intoxicating fragrances. The first quatrain introduces crimson roses and jasmine, their scents rising like prayers to symbolize God’s tender love piercing through darkness. The second quatrain features lilies and violets, their sweet perfumes and vibrant hues reflecting grace and mercy that nurture broken souls. The third quatrain brings lavender’s calming scent and honeysuckle’s golden balm, illustrating God’s peace and anointing presence. The final couplet concludes with an image of an evergreen garland, affirming God’s eternal, glorious love woven through every bloom.

The rose unfurls its crimson heart at morn,
A fragrant hymn that drifts on velvet air,
Thy love, like jasmine, blooms where night is torn,
Its tender scent a whisper soft and fair.

The lily bends with dew, a chalice sweet,
Its perfume weaves through meadows green and wide,
In violet’s sigh, Thy grace and mercy meet,
A garden vast where broken souls abide.

Through fields of lavender, Thy peace extends,
Each purple stalk a note of sacred calm,
The honeysuckle’s breath with sunlight blends,
Its golden drops anoint like holy balm.

Thy love, O Lord, a garland ever green,
In every bloom, Thy glory reigns serene.

The heavens bloom with gold at dawn’s first call,
A chorus whispers through the emerald trees,
Thy boundless grace cascades o’er mountain’s thrall,
And bathes the soul in light’s eternal seas.

For all Thy hands have wrought in starlit skies,
The rivers carve Thy name in silver streams,
The sparrow’s flight, a hymn that never dies,
Awakes my heart to chase celestial dreams.

Through shadowed vales where twilight paints the air,
Thy steadfast love ignites the fading flame,
A tapestry of colors rich and rare,
Unfurls beneath the echo of Thy name.

My Lord, I love Thee, radiant and true,
Each breath a song, my spirit born anew.

When sacred whispers from glory cascade,
And Christ’s holy voice bids the heart be remade,
Like gemstones of grace from the soul’s depths that fall,
A sparkling hymn gleams, reflecting His call.

The sonnet “Held by Hands of Holy Might”, inspired by Psalm 62:5-7 (KJV)—”My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God”—conveys a profound trust in God as the sole source of hope and salvation. The speaker’s soul waits in silence, finding unshakable strength and refuge in God, portrayed as a rock, fortress, and shield against life’s storms. With divine might as a sustaining force, the poem celebrates a peace that illuminates freedom amidst chaos, affirming the speaker’s steadfast confidence in God’s protective care.


My soul in silence waits for God alone,
From Him my hope and expectation springs,
He is my rock, my fortress, and my throne,
A shield to guard me from all earthly stings.
Unshaken I shall stand through storm and strife,
For in His strength my wavering heart is stilled,
My refuge sure, my glory, and my life,
With holy might my spirit He has filled.
No force can move me from His steadfast care,
Salvation shines where peace has gently grown,
The rock of ages keeps me in His prayer,
My trust reposed in hands of living God.
So let the tempests rage, the shadows flee—
In Him alone my soul finds liberty.

The voice of truth proclaims with steady might,
“Surely I come, and soon,” the Savior calls,
A word that pierces through the endless night,
To echo loud through hope-filled hearts and halls.
The royal saints redeemed now lift their gaze,
A dawn of grace to call saints to their place,
For in His pledge lies all eternity,
A hope that quickens every longing heart.
The earth itself awaits His promised tread,
Each breath a prayer to lift the saints I love,
When righteousness shall raise the humbled head,
And love shall reign in everlasting peace.
Amen, we cry, with faith both deep and true,
Come, Lord, and lead us forth in triumph new.

The elders throne-ward fall in robes of light,
Their golden crowns they cast with trembling awe,
“Glory, honor, thanks,” their voices bright,
To Him who lives forever, free from flaw.
Four creatures, winged with might, lift blazing eyes,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord,” they sing,
“God Almighty, who was, and is,” their cries,
A timeless hymn through heaven’s arches ring.
“You are worthy, Lord,” the elders’ anthem flows,
“To receive all power, honor, glory’s due,
For by Your will all things were made to be,”
Their praise resounds where crystal skies renew.
Eternal anthems rise from star to star,
Christ Jesus shines, the anthem’s shining star.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)

The dawn ignites the sky with golden fire,
His mercies blaze, a victor’s clarion call,
Each morning crowns us kings and queens withal,
Compassion reigns, our foe’s defeat entire.
No chain can bind where grace lifts ever higher,
The night is crushed beneath His mighty thrall,
An anthem swells—His love shall conquer all—
We rise anew, unshackled from the mire.

Let tempests roar, they break on steadfast shore,
His faithfulness a well that won’t run dry,
Each day proclaims the triumph we adore.
Through every clash, His mercy’s strength we bear,
For in His light, we soar forevermore,
Victorious heirs of joy beyond compare.

Beneath a sky of endless sapphire hue,
Where gentle breezes dance with blades of green,
A tender shoot in Christ breaks softly through,
Its vibrant leaves in sunlight’s glow serene.
His love, a stream of crystal, winds its way,
Through fields of gold where wildflowers sway,
Each dawn unfurls a petal’s fresh display,
A new self born in beauty every day.
The air hums sweet with honeyed notes of spring,
A lark ascends, its song a soaring flame,
In steady growth, our hearts begin to sing,
Refashioned whole within His holy name.
From soil rich with grace, we rise anew,
A living bloom beneath Heaven’s boundless blue.

Amid the shadows where our sorrows bloom,
The hand divine does weave a silent thread,
Through tears and trials, though we dread the gloom,
A purpose grows where mortal hopes have bled.

The sting of grief, a chisel sharp and cold,
Carves strength within the soul’s unyielding stone,
Each wound a tale of mercy yet untold,
Each scar a seed in sacred soil sown.

When tempests rage and break the heart apart,
His quiet grace sustains through every cry,
For pain, though fierce, refines the fragile art,
A furnace where our truest selves comply.

So trust the One who shapes both joy and strain,
For God, in love, turns loss to endless gain.

Gustav Dore L’Ascension 1883 Bob Jones University Museum and Art Gallery

Upon the canvas, once a sacred fire,
A brush did dance to lift the spirit high,
Through beauty’s grace, the soul would then aspire,
To realms where mortal cares and shadows die.
No jarring clash, no discord’s bitter sting,
But harmony in hues of light arrayed,
A silent hymn the heart could softly sing,
In marble carved, or golden tones displayed.
Yet now the muse seeks oft to rend, to break,
To shock the mind from slumber’s dull repose,
But lost, perchance, the stillness art could wake,
When once it bloomed like petals of a rose.
Let art ascend again, its purpose true,
To mend the soul with heaven’s boundless view.
