The Greatest Privilege Of All by Debbie Harris

The sonnet celebrates the supreme, royal, and majestic beauty of God’s eternal reign, which shines most profoundly in the hearts of those truly born again through His holy salvation. It portrays God’s throne as radiant and sovereign, ruling over all creation—stars, seas, and mountains—while His love transforms the souls of the redeemed, ignited by the Holy Spirit’s flame. The poem emphasizes that only those reborn experience His grace, their hearts forever alight with divine truth, culminating in a vision of God’s majestic, pure reign enduring eternally in the faithful.

O Sovereign Lord, whose reign supreme doth blaze,
Thy majesty in royal splendor gleams,
A beauty vast, eternal, set to amaze,
In hearts reborn where Thy true Spirit streams.
Thy throne, aglow with light no eye can view,
Rules o’er the stars, the seas, the earth’s wide span;
Thy love, a crown, makes souls reborn anew,
In those who trust Thy holy salvation’s plan.
The heavens sing, the mountains laud Thy name,
Creation bows beneath Thy mighty hand;
Thy grace transforms the souls reborn by flame,
Their hearts alight with truth forever grand.
O God, Thy reign, majestic, pure, divine,
In born-again hearts shall eternally shine.

Dedicated to my amazing, Godly, talented, brilliant, precious Dad!

The Sonnet for Father’s Day is a 14-line Shakespearean sonnet in iambic pentameter with an ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme, crafted to celebrate Godly, Christ-centered fathers. It portrays fathers as spiritual pillars who guide their families with faith, sacrifice, and love. The poem opens by praising their Christ-led love and prayers that calm fears, establishing them as a warm refuge (lines 1-4). It then highlights their sacrificial efforts and Scriptural wisdom, which light a righteous path for their children (lines 5-8). With humility, they seek no earthly reward, quietly nurturing their children’s souls through grace-driven love (lines 9-12). The closing couplet urges cherishing these fathers, whose lives in Christ inspire a “song of timeless praise,” evoking eternal joy and worship (lines 13-14). The sonnet’s reverent, uplifting tone and vivid Christian imagery make it a heartfelt tribute for Father’s Day, emphasizing faith, guidance, and enduring love.

This day we praise our fathers, Christ-led, true,
Whose faithful love does guide us through the storm,
With hands that serve, and prayers that fear subdue,
Their godly strength, our refuge, ever warm.

Through sacrifice, they pave a righteous way,
Their wisdom drawn from Scripture’s holy word,
Each step a light, where Christ’s own truth holds sway,
A root of faith, through which God’s voice is heard.

No crown they seek, but heaven’s sure reward,
Yet in their eyes, a humble joy unspoken,
For children’s souls, they labor for the Lord,
Their bond of love, by grace, remains unbroken.

So hold them close, these fathers, near and far,
Their lives in Christ, our song of timeless praise.

The sonnet, The Soldier’s Crown, inspired by 2 Timothy 2:3 and James 1:12, portrays believers as soldiers of Christ enduring diverse personal hardships—grief, poverty, doubt—with faith. Each faces unique trials but perseveres through Christ’s example and divine guidance. The poem uses military and redemptive imagery to depict the struggle and ultimate triumph, promising the “crown of life” to those who remain steadfast.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:3)

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” (James 1:12)

As soldiers sworn to Christ, we bear the strife,
Each soul a battlefield, each heart a scar.
Through storms of loss, where anguish cuts like knife,
We tread by faith beneath His guiding star.
No hardship wears one face—some fight with tears,
Some labor long in want’s unyielding grip,
Some wrestle doubts that whisper cruelest fears—
Yet all endure, with hope that will not slip.
Though flesh may tire, the spirit holds its ground,
For He who bore the cross has carved the way.
Each trial faced refines the faith profound,
Till glory dawns in everlasting day.
The crown of life shall grace the steadfast brow,
Who fights through pain and stands victorious now.

The second poem, titled “Patriots United in Christ, Guardians of God’s Sacred Land”, is a fervent, patriotic ode that celebrates America as a nation unified under God’s grace, with Jesus Christ as its guiding light. It portrays the United States as a divine gift, blessed by God’s love and sustained by faith. The poem emphasizes placing Jesus first, with vivid imagery of America’s landscapes—seas, fields, and mountains—symbolizing freedom’s enduring dreams. It honors the military as courageous guardians, empowered by Christ, who protect the nation’s liberty through sacrifice. The tone is one of gratitude, hope, and unwavering commitment to God and country, culminating in a vision of America as a beacon of Christ’s truth, passionately “set ablaze” by faith and patriotism.

By God’s own grace, our nation stands as one,
A sacred gift beneath His holy gaze.
With Jesus Christ, our Savior, first we run,
To lift His name in everlasting praise.

From sea to shore, His light our path has led,
Through fields of gold to peaks that touch the sky.
One nation, bound by faith, with hope we tread,
Under God’s love, where freedom’s dreams won’t die.

Our military brave, by Christ’s own strength they stand,
Their sacrifice a shield for liberty.
With courage bold, they guard this blessed land,
A testament to grace eternally.

We thank You, Lord, for mercies freely giv’n,
For unity through Jesus’ holy call.
Proud hearts proclaim His truth from earth to heav’n,
One nation under God, He reigns o’er all.

With patriot’s zeal, we vow to keep Him first,
Our Savior’s love, the fire that fuels our days.
Through every trial, His grace shall quench our thirst,
America, Christ’s beacon, set ablaze.

Title: Rejoice, God Reigns!
Summary: This concise, two-stanza quatrain (A-B-B-A rhyme scheme) is a vibrant call to trust and praise the triune God’s sovereign control amidst a chaotic world. It proclaims redemption through God’s “royal love,” urging readers to trust His care and praise His saving grace despite “flames of chaos.” Vivid imagery (“darkest night,” “defeats the grave”) and warm language (“grace that yearns,” “precious Lord”) create a worshipful, hopeful tone.

Know this, redeemed by royal might,
Though flames of chaos fiercely blaze,
Our triune God, with boundless grace,
Is sovereign o’er the darkest night.

Lift up your heart, trust in His call,
Though worlds may crumble, He will save.
Praise Him whose love defeats the grave,
Our precious Lord who reigns o’er all.

This keeps your core message—trusting and praising the triune God’s control—while adding vivid imagery (“darkest night,” “defeats the grave”) and action (“lift up your heart”). The rhyme and alliteration (“royal might,” “boundless grace”) enhance its lyrical, worshipful feel, making it ideal for recitation or singing.

The poem, titled “Possible Impossibilities”, celebrates the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ, through whom seemingly impossible situations become possible. It portrays a world where divine love and grace break through doubt, despair, and limitations, turning barren hearts fertile, mending the broken, and opening new paths where none existed. With vivid imagery, it depicts Christ’s ability to conquer obstacles like mountains and oceans, rewriting human stories with hope and miracles. The poem emphasizes that, with Jesus as Lord, no boundary is too great, and His boundless love illuminates even the darkest moments, making the impossible achievable.

The world is ablaze with possible impossibilities,
Where dreams defy the chains of earthly realities.
With Jesus Christ as Lord, the heavens unfold,
Turning whispers of hope into miracles bold.

In shadows of doubt, His light breaks through,
Making pathways where none ever grew.
The barren heart blooms, the broken are whole,
His love rewrites the stories of each seeking soul.

Mountains may stand, and oceans may roar,
Yet His voice commands, opening every door.
What seems beyond reach, His hands can bestow,
In Christ, the impossible begins to grow.

So lift up your eyes to the Author of grace,
Whose power transforms time, heart, and space.
With Jesus as Lord, no limit holds sway,
For His boundless love turns night into day.
