The poem portrays a chaotic world redeemed by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, where His blood grants salvation—the ultimate gift surpassing all others. This divine grace transforms the soul, awakening it to a new life and binding it eternally to God, a bond secured through Jesus’ suffering and love, offering hope and unity with the divine.


The world in tumult spins through darkened days,
Yet from the cross, a sacred gift unfurls,
Christ’s blood pours forth in pure, redeeming rays,
Salvation shines, the crown of Heaven’s pearls.
All lesser boons dissolve before this grace,
A new creation springs from death’s defeat,
The soul awakes to see its Savior’s face,
Through love divine, we’re bound to God complete.
No earthly power rivals what He gives,
This gift of all, by thorn and nail secured,
In crimson streams, the hope of mankind lives,
A bond eternal, steadfast and assured.
So cast off sin, embrace His holy rod,
For through salvation, we are one with God.

The Singular Path To Redemption by Debbie Harris

The sonnet explores the exclusivity of the gospel, presenting it as a singular, unwavering path to salvation through Jesus Christ. Amid a world of competing voices and diverse roads, the poem asserts that only one name and one way—Christ’s—offers true redemption. Though this narrow claim faces scorn for its perceived rigidity, the poem reveals a deeper grace within it: a bold, divine love that illuminates the darkness and leads to eternal peace for those who follow.

Through Christ Alone
Amid the voices clamoring for sway,
A single path emerges, sharp and clear,
Through shadowed vales where lost souls seek their way,
One name alone resounds for hearts to hear.
The world delights in roads of varied hue,
Each promising a summit of its own,
Yet steadfast stands the gospel’s narrow view,
A gate through which the Savior’s light is shown.
What scorn it draws from minds that crave no bound,
What whispers call it harsh, unyielding, cold—
But in its claim a deeper grace is found,
A love that pierced the dark with truth so bold.
For though the way be lone, its end is sure,
In Christ, the heart finds peace forever pure.

A Time To Speak, A Time To Rend by Debbie Harris

“A Time to Speak, A Time to Rend”:

The poem explores the biblical concept of speaking truth in love as a precious treasure, drawing from Ephesians 4:15. It highlights the delicate balance of delivering truth with gentleness to heal, yet acknowledges moments, inspired by Ecclesiastes 3, where brutal honesty becomes necessary. This sharper truth, though painful, cuts through denial or decay to awaken and restore. The sonnet presents truth as a dual force—tender and loving at times, fierce and wounding when needed—ultimately a divine gift that serves both mercy and justice!

A treasure rare, from sacred wellsprings drawn,
The truth in love, a gentle balm to give,
Yet times arise, beneath a shadowed dawn,
When candor’s edge must cut to make us live.

For love alone may cloak what must be seen,
A softened veil o’er rot that festers deep,
Then brutal honesty, though sharp, serene,
Awakes the soul from slumber’s coward sleep.

Ephesians bids us speak with grace in view,
Yet Ecclesiastes knows the seasons’ turn,
A time to rend, to pierce the heart straight through,
When fire of truth must blaze, and bridges burn.

This priceless gift, both tender and severe,
Doth heal through love—or wound, when truth is near.

The poem depicts a rare group of Spirit-led royal souls, surrounded by a vivid lavender mist and a golden stream, who feast on God’s word. Through their humble act of esteeming each other better than themselves, they glorify God.


A lavish lavender mist unfurls its gleam,
Royal souls, so rare, Spirit-led, ablaze,
Feasting on God’s word by a golden stream,
Esteeming each other, God’s glory they raise.

Voices Of The Cross Prevail by Debbie Harris

The poem portrays Jesus as both compassionate and fiercely just, overturning tables in the temple and condemning hypocrites as “whitewashed tombs” to confront corruption head-on. It questions whether silence should persist in the face of evil or if, like Christ, the bold must speak out. The timid falter, but truth requires courage. The sonnet culminates in the idea that when warriors of Christ actively defend their faith, justice triumphs, and evil is defeated.


The gentle hand that soothed the frail and meek,
In fury turned the merchants’ tables o’er,
Where sin had crept, defiling what was weak,
A righteous storm restored the sacred floor.
“Whitewashed tombs!” he named the pious frauds,
Their hollow words a veil for hearts of stone,
No meek rebuke, but thunder ’gainst their lauds,
He tore the mask and claimed what was his own.
Shall silence reign when evil lifts its head?
Or must the bold, like Christ, defy the lie?
The meek may shrink, by fear and doubt misled,
Yet truth demands the brave to rise and cry.
When warriors of Christ the cross defend,
Then justice reigns, and evil meets its end.

The sonnet “The Eagle’s Ascent on Wings of Sacred Strength” poetically reflects Isaiah 40:31, portraying those who wait on the Lord as recipients of divine renewal. Beneath a vast sky, they offer patient prayers to Christ, their strength restored to rise like eagles on resilient wings. With quiet faith, they ascend beyond earthly struggles, running tirelessly and walking without weakness through life’s challenges. Rich with alliteration, the poem celebrates the enduring power and grace granted by God, culminating in an eternal uplift for the steadfast.


Beneath the boundless blue, they bide their time,
With patient pleas to Christ, the sovereign Lord,
Their weary wills, renewed by strength sublime,
Shall soar on sturdy wings that storms afford.

In quiet trust, they lean on holy might,
Their souls, uplifted, pierce the peaceful sky,
With fearless flight, they cleave the daunting height,
And rise refreshed where mortal cares deny.

Relentless, they shall run through rugged lands,
Not faltering, nor faint, their footsteps free,
With wondrous power from His guiding hands,
They’ll wander wide, defying frailty’s plea.

For those who wait, His grace shall gently lift,
A steadfast, sacred, everlasting gift.

At sunset, twilight whispers gratitude,
A day well-lived within His boundless grace.

The sonnet “Christ’s Radiant Triumph” portrays a spiritual battle where the enemy (Satan) employs lies, death, and destruction to ensnare and ruin the soul, casting shadows over the love and grace of Jesus. Yet, amidst this darkness, Christ’s radiant light emerges as a powerful force, breaking through the enemy’s schemes with truth and transforming despair into joy. The poem culminates in a call to stand firm under Christ’s holy reign, rising in victory with the assurance that Satan’s power is defeated, celebrating the ultimate triumph of divine light and love over evil.

The enemy with cunning whispers lies,
To weave a web of doubt within the soul,
His words, like venom, bid the heart to die,
And tear apart what once was pure and whole.
With killing hands, he strikes at peace’s core,
A shadow cast where Jesus’ love had grown,
Destruction follows, ruthless evermore,
To dim the grace that once so brightly shone.
But Christ’s radiant light arises strong,
A flame of truth to shatter every ploy,
It breaks the dark where malice lingered long,
And turns despair to everlasting joy.
So stand, my friend, beneath His holy reign,
And rise triumphant, for Satan’s might is slain.
