The sonnet portrays Easter as a powerful breaking of despair, with a glorious dawn signaling Christ’s victorious rise from the grave. He overcomes death’s grip, shattering its hold and transforming His wounds into symbols of eternal life. The heavens and earth join in jubilant praise, led by angelic choirs, as redeemed souls are lifted by His grace. The poem concludes with a call to rejoice under the sacred light of this victory, igniting hearts with the enduring power of Easter’s triumph.

Together, the title and sonnet weave a vivid tapestry of divine conquest, spiritual renewal, and exultant celebration. Let me know if you’d like more detail or adjustments!

When Easter rends the veil of shadowed woe,
A golden dawn ignites the world anew,
The Savior storms from death’s unyielding foe,
His triumph crowns the morning’s glistening dew.
No stone could hold, no grave could dare confine,
The King who shattered hell’s unyielding gate,
His wounds, now stars, in radiant glory shine,
Proclaiming life where once reigned cruel fate.
The heavens roar, the earth in rapture sings,
As cherubim exalt with blazing chord,
Each soul redeemed soars high on victor’s wings,
Embraced by grace, the mercy of our Lord.
O let us rejoice beneath this holy spire,
For Easter’s might hath set our hearts afire.

In this sonnet, titled “From Jesus’ Perspective of the Triumphal Entry, I Rode Amid Their Praise”, Jesus reflects on his entry into Jerusalem atop a colt. He observes the crowd’s vibrant worship—palms forming a verdant sea, cloaks paving his path, and hosannas proclaiming him the Son of David, fueled by the truths he taught. With divine foresight, he knows that if their praise should ever fade, an unbearable silence would arise, prompting the rocks to shout and gemstones beneath the earth to glow with hymns, amplifying his reign’s glory. Amid their love, he embraces his mission’s deeper purpose, seeing beyond their praise to the crown of thorns, a sacrifice ordained by his Father to save the souls of man.

I rode the colt, their palms a verdant sea,
Their voices soared, a wave of fervent sound,
With cloaks they paved the dust beneath my feet,
A king they crowned where humble grace was found.
“Hosanna, Son of David,” pierced the air,
Their hearts aflame with truths I’d come to share,
Yet I knew if their praise should ever fade,
A voiceless hour no mortal throat could bear.
The rocks would shout if mortal tongues should cease,
While gemstones glow with hymns from depths unseen,
Creation’s chorus hailing my reign’s increase,
A testament to power no eye had gleaned.
I felt their love, yet knew my Father’s plan,
A crown of thorns to save the souls of man.

This poem pits the fleeting, moldy offerings of prosperity preachers—crumbs of wealth that fail to nourish—against the eternal bread of Christ. Their lavish promises turn to dust, leaving hunger unmet, while Jesus, the true loaf, satisfies the soul freely and forever. His sustenance triumphs over greed’s hollow feast, bringing renewal and life without end.

They scatter crumbs from gilded trays,
Prosperity’s hawkers, bold and loud,
“Feast on wealth, your hunger’s cure,”
But the morsels mold, a starving shroud.

Their tables gleam with hollow fare,
A banquet built on fleeting dust,
Bellies ache, though plates abound,
For greed’s dry crust betrays all trust.

“I am the bread,” Christ softly calls,
“Eat of Me, and never pine,”
No price to pay, no riches weighed,
A living loaf, both yours and mine.

Their stale heaps crumble, fade to ash,
While Jesus feeds the soul’s deep cry,
One taste of Him, and life’s renewed,
A feast eternal, none deny.

The Vine of Life Rooted in Christ Through the Born-Again Soul Against the Withered Branches of Prosperity’s Lies by Debbie Harris

The poem contrasts the false prosperity gospel, which ties fruitfulness to wealth and leaves souls withered, with the true vine of Christ. Prosperity preachers promise a harvest through materialism, but their branches dry up, cut off from life. Only through being born again can souls root into Jesus, the vine who offers abundant life freely, not through riches. His grace sustains, while their lies collapse, yielding a fruitful, eternal existence.

They graft their branches to a hollow stem,
Prosperity’s voices, slick and sure,
“Cling to wealth, and you’ll bear fruit,”
But their vines droop, dry, and poor.

Leaves of greenbacks, roots in gold,
A harvest promised, yet never whole,
Withered hopes beneath the sun,
Cut off from life where true sap runs.

Born again, the soul takes root,
A new shoot breaks through stony ground,
Only then can hearts entwine,
With Him who makes all life abound.

“I am the vine,” Christ gently speaks,
“Abide in Me, and thrive complete,”
No coin to pay, no riches sought,
Just love that blooms where grace is wrought.

Their stalks collapse, their boasts decay,
While Jesus’ branch lifts night to day,
In Him alone, the soul’s sustained,
A fruitful life, forever gained.

The Yoke of Christ’s Truth Revealed Through the Born-Again Heart by Debbie Harris

The poem contrasts the oppressive burden of prosperity preachers, who promise wealth for heavy offerings, with the light yoke of Christ’s truth. Their greed-driven chains weigh down souls, offering empty promises, while only through being born again can one receive Jesus’ gentle grace. His call brings rest and love, not material cost, lifting the heart above the world’s deceptive load to a peaceful, victorious path.

They heap their burdens high,
Prosperity’s priests with gleaming smiles,
“Carry this load of coin and care,
And wealth will crown your days.”

But the weight bends backs,
A yoke of chains forged in greed,
Promises clank like empty cans,
Dragging souls through dust and need.

Born anew, the heart awakens,
Eyes unscaled to see His face,
For only through that sacred birth,
Can souls receive His tender grace.

Then Jesus calls, soft and sure,
“My yoke is easy, my burden light,”
No gold required, no tithe to buy,
Just rest in love, in holy sight.

The world’s load crushes, deceives,
A treadmill chase for fleeting gain,
But Christ’s way lifts, His peace relieves,
A gentle path through storm and pain.

The Riches Of The Narrow Way by Debbie Harris

The poem celebrates true wealth found in following Christ’s humble, narrow path, not in worldly silver or towers. It portrays this rugged way as a source of holy joy and divine victory, contrasting it with the world’s fleeting, deceptive riches. Through Christ’s steps, the soul gains mercy, peace, and an unstealable light, triumphing in righteousness over material snares.

Not in vaults of silver, nor in towers tall,
Do true riches gleam and call,
But in the steps of Christ, the lowly King,
Where holy joy begins to sing.

His narrow path, a rugged line,
Winds through thorns, yet shines divine,
No glittering hoard, no fleeting crown,
But victory won where grace abounds.

The world parades its gaudy wares,
Promising ease through golden snares,
Yet Christ’s way, though steep and tight,
Fills the soul with living light.

Rich in mercy, rich in peace,
A wealth no thief can seize,
For in His steps, the heart takes flight,
Triumphant on the road of right.

The poem denounces the prosperity gospel as a deceptive scheme, promising riches while hiding the true cross. It challenges this teaching with biblical truths—the widow’s mite and the camel through the needle’s eye—revealing its coldness toward the poor and obsession with wealth. Jesus’ compassion for the beggar at the rich man’s gate stands against this greed-driven creed, warning that it leads souls astray from the narrow way of grace.

They peddle promises wrapped in silk,
A gospel gleaming with golden lies,
“Give and grow rich,” they croon,
While the cross lies buried beneath their piles.

Prosperity, they say, is God’s great sign,
A blessing measured in cars and cash,
But what of the widow’s mite,
The camel threading the needle’s eye?

Their pulpits gleam, their voices soar,
Yet hearts grow cold to the poor outside,
For love of money cloaks their creed,
A thief that steals the soul’s true need.

Christ saw the beggar at wealth’s cold gate,
He bore the thorns, not a crown of ease,
Beware the gospel that sells His grace,
A treacherous path from the narrow way.

The sonnet reflects on the limitless deeds of Jesus, as inspired by John 21:25, which suggests that the world could not contain all the books needed to record His works. It portrays His miracles, grace, and love as an infinite stream, too vast for human writing or comprehension. The poem emphasizes how these acts transcend time and space, filling the world with an unwritten legacy that resonates eternally, inviting humble faith in their boundless scope.

The works of Christ, a boundless, endless stream,
Outstretch the scribe’s frail hand, the page’s span,
A tale too vast for mortal thought to dream,
Unfurls beyond the grasp of finite man.
Each miracle, each whispered word of grace,
Each soul restored beneath His tender gaze,
Defies the ink, transcends the written space,
A living light through time’s unyielding maze.
The world itself, though wide with sea and shore,
Could not contain the volumes truth would fill,
For every deed resounds forevermore,
A song of love no silence can distill.
So here we stand, with faith to humbly see,
His boundless acts shape all eternity.

The poem celebrates the triumphant redemption of believers through Christ, the Sovereign who defeated death. It portrays His powerful hand breaking the chains of mortality, emptying the tomb, and dispelling darkness. This victory grants us a royal status as heirs, inspiring endless praise for His light and might.

Royally redeemed, we stand in awe,
By the hand that broke the ancient law,
A Sovereign bold, with power vast,
Who shattered death, its chains uncast.

The tomb lies empty, shadows flee,
His victory crowns eternity,
With royal might, He claimed the day,
And swept our guilt and fear away.

Redeemed, we rise, a regal throng,
To sing His praise in endless song,
The hand that pierced the dark with light,
Has made us heirs of boundless might.

Sons and daughters, lift your eyes,
To the throne where glory lies,
Of the King of Kings, supreme,
Lord of Lords, our hope redeemed.

Crowned with grace we can’t repay,
Undeserved, yet here to stay,
Woven through with golden thread,
Royal blood for us was shed.

Children of the Sovereign’s heart,
Called by name, set apart,
In His reign, we find our place,
Heirs of love, adorned by grace.
