“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” —Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)

When we lift our eyes to Jesus,
Author of our faith and rest,
Joy within our spirits surges,
Filling hearts with hope’s sweet zest.

Strength is kindled in our frailty,
Through His might, we rise and stand,
Courage flows to face the tempest,
Held secure by His strong hand.

Wisdom lights our path with clarity,
Guiding choices, pure and true,
In His counsel, we find purpose,
Every step He leads us through.

Grace, unmerited, embraces,
Cleansing wounds and setting free,
Peace, transcendent, calms our chaos,
Anchored in eternity.

Love, unending, wraps around us,
Drawing us to seek His face,
Faith grows bolder, trust unbroken,
As we run this holy race.

Oh, the challenge lies before us,
Fix your gaze, though trials press,
Look to Jesus, ever steadfast,
Source of life and righteousness.

The poem, inspired by Colossians 1:17-23, is a triumphant, image-rich celebration of Christ’s supremacy, sacrificial victory, and reconciling work. It portrays Christ as the preeminent Lord who created and sustains all things—mountains, oceans, stars—ruling with sovereign might. He descends to the cross, where His blood defeats sin and death, transforming the cross into a throne of triumph. Once estranged, humanity is redeemed through His sacrifice, made blameless before God. The gospel spreads like a roaring flame across the earth, proclaiming His victory. The poem closes with a jubilant call to worship Christ, the everlasting King, whose reign and redemption are eternal. The tone is bold and victorious, using vivid, concrete imagery (e.g., thundering oceans, blazing mercy) to evoke awe, for a grounded, biblical feel.

Before the heavens stretched their frame,
Before the dawn spoke forth His name,
Christ stood, the Lord, the mighty One,
Who forged the stars, who lit the sun.
Mountains rise at His decree,
Oceans thunder, wild and free.
All things in Him find strength to stand,
Held fast within His sovereign hand.

He reigns as First, o’er life and death,
The source of every living breath.
In Him, God’s fullness dwells and shines,
His glory breaks through mortal lines.
Angels kneel where anthems soar,
Proclaiming Him forevermore.
From earth’s deep roots to heaven’s height,
He rules with uncreated might.

Yet see the King descend to save,
To storm the darkness of the grave.
On that grim cross, where blood was spilled,
Where wrath and love in battle thrilled,
His sacrifice tore down the wall,
Restoring life to Adam’s fall.
The wood, a throne of triumph high,
Defies the serpent’s ancient lie.

Once we were lost, rebels astray,
Our hearts in chains, our skies turned gray.
But Christ, the Victor, broke our night,
His mercy blazed with holy light.
His blood has washed our guilt away,
And bids us stand in endless day.
Redeemed, we rise, made pure, made whole,
Blameless before His glorious soul.

The gospel roars like lion’s might,
Its truth a flame that splits the night.
From village dust to city gates,
Its hope in every heart awaits.
No tongue, no land, can silence this,
The story of redeeming bliss.
Through all the earth, His name resounds,
A victory song that shakes the grounds.

O risen Lord, forever reign!
Your throne above all powers remain.
The cross has crushed the foe’s design,
Your blood has made the nations Thine.
We lift our voice, we bow, we sing,
All hail the everlasting King!

The poem, titled Crowned in Glory: The Bible’s Bejeweled Treasury for the Redeemed, celebrates the Bible as a divine treasury for those redeemed in Christ. Using vivid gemstone imagery, it portrays Scripture as a collection of precious jewels, each symbolizing a spiritual truth: rubies for the redeeming blood of grace, emeralds for eternal hope, sapphires for wisdom, diamonds for the enduring strength of God’s Word, and amethysts for the royal glory of the redeemed. The poem emphasizes the Bible’s unassailable wealth, its role as a guiding light, and the exalted status of the redeemed, crowned by divine love.

In Christ, the royally redeemed we stand,
Our Bible, a treasury blessed in hand.
A radiant vault where gemstones gleam,
Each verse a jewel, each truth a dream.

Like rubies bold, the blood of grace,
Pours from the cross, our hiding place.
Its crimson fire lights up the soul,
Redeeming love that makes us whole.

The emerald shines, eternal spring,
Of promises kept, of life to bring.
In pages green, God’s mercy grows,
A verdant hope that ever flows.

Sapphires deep, of wisdom’s hue,
Reflect the truths that guide us through.
Their starry blaze in Scripture’s night,
Illumes our path with holy light.

The diamond, pure, unyielding, bright,
God’s Word endures, our steadfast might.
No storm can crack its sacred core,
Its strength our shield forevermore.

And amethyst, with royal glow,
Adorns the redeemed, His grace to show.
In purple splendor, we are crowned,
By love divine, in glory bound.

This treasury, no thief can claim,
Its gems outshine all earthly fame.
For royally redeemed we sing,
The Bible’s wealth, our endless spring.
