The poem “The World’s Deep Need for Jesus Christ, the Eternal Savior of the Holy Bible” expresses the profound longing of a broken world for Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible. It portrays a world lost in darkness, chaos, and sin, unable to find lasting hope in earthly powers or possessions. Jesus, the Son of God, is presented as the ultimate solution—born humbly, crucified for humanity’s sins, and risen as the triumphant King. His life, teachings, and sacrifice offer redemption, healing, and eternal life to all. The poem calls the world to turn to Christ, the only source of truth, light, and salvation, capable of transforming hearts and restoring hope across all nations.

In a world of shadows, fractured and torn,
Where hearts grow faint and hopes are worn,
A cry resounds through time’s vast span,
For Jesus Christ, God’s perfect plan.

The Bible sings of Him alone,
The Cornerstone, the Living Stone.
From Bethlehem’s cradle, humble and small,
To Calvary’s cross, He gave His all.

Through dusty roads, He walked with grace,
His words of truth, a warm embrace.
The blind could see, the lame could run,
The dead arose—God’s only Son.

In every age, the heart’s deep ache,
No earthly power can overtake.
For wealth and fame, though loudly sold,
Leave empty souls in winter’s cold.

Yet Jesus stands, the open door,
His mercy flows forevermore.
The Lamb who died, the King who reigns,
He breaks our sin, He looses chains.

The world in chaos, blind with pride,
Needs Christ, the Way, to turn the tide.
His blood redeems, His Spirit fills,
His love transforms the hardest wills.

From every nation, tribe, and tongue,
The lost are called, the battle won.
No darkness holds His piercing light,
No storm withstands His sovereign might.

Oh, world adrift in endless pain,
Lift up your eyes, behold His reign!
The Bible’s Christ, the Truth, the Life,
Restores the broken, ends the strife.

Eternal Savior, Risen King,
Let every heart His anthem sing.
For Jesus Christ, and Him alone,
Can lead the world to Heaven’s throne.

When Lips Profess Christ’s Name, Yet Cruel Hearts with Scorn and Spite Assail the Meek by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, titled “When Lips Profess Christ’s Name, Yet Cruel Hearts with Scorn and Spite Assail the Meek,” critiques “mean girl Christians” who profess faith but act with cruelty, judgment, and hypocrisy. It describes their harsh words, prideful cliques, and indifference to their own sins while condemning others, contrasting this with the love, humility, and sensitivity to sin that should mark those who truly love God with heart, soul, and mind. The poem highlights God’s transformative grace, which can soften such hearts, and urges readers to embrace genuine devotion over malicious behavior, seeking humility and mercy instead of scorn.

Some claim Christ’s name, yet wield a crueler art,
Their words, like daggers, pierce with scornful glee,
No love of God inflames their hardened heart,
Nor softens spite in Christian charity.
They judge, they shun, with haughty, glittering eyes,
Their sins unseen, though others’ faults they flay,
In cliques they thrive, where whispered venom lies,
And turn from grace to strut a meaner way.
Yet God, who bids us love with soul and mind,
Would melt such ice with His redeeming flame,
For true devotion leaves no wrath behind,
But cloaks the soul in mercy’s gentle name.
O shun the path where cruel tongues abide,
And seek His love, where humble hearts reside.

The sonnet, titled “The Triumph of Christ’s Redeeming Grace Through Repentance and Belief in Jesus Christ as Personal Lord and Savior,” depicts the fierce spiritual battle for human souls, where Satan’s lies seek to enslave the heart. It underscores that human strength cannot overcome evil’s grip, but Jesus Christ, the merciful King, offers victory through repentance and faith. The poem calls for sinners to turn from their ways, accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, and trust in His cross and blood for redemption. It assures that through belief in Christ alone, the battle is won, securing eternal triumph under His pure dominion.

Where unseen wars for human souls are fought,
The adversary stalks with chains of night;
His lies ensnare the heart that grace forgot,
To bind the lost in everlasting blight.

No mortal might can shatter Satan’s hold,
Nor flesh prevail against his cunning art;
Yet Christ, the King, with mercy manifold,
Doth bid the sinner turn with contrite heart.

Repent, O soul, forsake thy wayward path,
Accept the Savior, Jesus, Lord and Guide;
His cross alone disarms hell’s bitter wrath,
His blood the ransom paid where sins abide.

By faith in Him, the battle’s end is sure,
For Christ’s dominion stands forever pure.

The Shadowed Hunt of Easter: A Sonnet on the Alleged Time When Satanists Pursue the Pure of Heart by Debbie Harris

The sonnet describes Easter as a season of renewal and celebration, marked by blooming lilies, children’s egg hunts, and songs of resurrection. However, it warns of a hidden danger: Satanists who stealthily hunt for victims among the unsuspecting faithful. While church bells ring and joy abounds, this malevolent presence weaves through the festivities, seeking the innocent. The poem urges guardians to rise and protect the vulnerable, ensuring Easter’s light overcomes the encroaching darkness.

When Eastertide awakes with spring’s embrace,
And lilies bloom to hail the risen Lord,
A darker will seeks out its hunting place,
Where Satanists unsheathe a silent sword.
The children chase their eggs through verdant fields,
While mothers sing of resurrection’s call,
Yet veiled in mirth, a predator concealed,
Stalks tender prey beneath the sunlit thrall.
The church bells toll, a shield of sacred sound,
But evil threads through crowds in subtle guise,
At Easter’s hour, their victims sought and found,
A harvest grim beneath the faithful’s eyes.
Rise, guardians, thwart the serpent’s cruel design,
Let Easter’s light in triumph ever shine

A Sonnet on the Heinous and Abhorrent Wicked Practice of Satanist Abduction, Ceremonial Preparation, and Holding of a Sacrificial Victim from April 21st to 26th by Debbie Harris

The sonnet condemns a sinister and wicked ritual occurring between April 21st and 26th, where a secretive Satanist group abducts and prepares an innocent victim for sacrifice. It describes the period as a time of evil, marked by the binding and defilement of the victim in a dark ceremony that honors Satan and extinguishes human light. The poem expresses horror and revulsion at this cruel practice, calling it a profane and merciless act. Despite the bleakness, it ends with a glimmer of hope, wishing for justice to intervene and liberate the victim from this unholy torment.

The shadowed days of April’s cruel embrace,
From twenty-first to sixth, a vile rite grows,
A wicked cult in secrecy does trace
The steps of evil where no mercy flows.
A victim bound, their innocence defiled,
Prepar’d for sacrifice to sate the flame,
In rituals where darkness is beguiled,
And Satan’s name is whispered without shame.
Oh, how the heart recoils at such a deed,
Where human light is snuffed by hands profane,
A ceremonial curse, a twisted creed,
That revels in the innocent’s deep pain.
Yet hope endures—may justice strike them low,
And free the soul from this unholy woe.

“Even When We Were Dead in Our Trespasses, He Made Us Alive Together with Christ” by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, titled “Even When We Were Dead in Our Trespasses, He Made Us Alive Together with Christ”, explores the themes of Ephesians 2:5—humanity’s spiritual death due to sin and God’s gracious act of granting new life through Christ. It begins by depicting a state of hopelessness, where humans are trapped in trespasses, unable to save themselves. Divine mercy intervenes, uniting believers with Christ to break sin’s chains and restore them through unearned grace. The poem culminates in triumph, with Christ’s victory over hell paving the way for believers to one day reign with Him in glory.

When we lay dead, entombed in trespass deep,
Our hearts were stone, our spirits bound in night,
No strength within to climb salvation’s steep,
Nor will to seek the dawn of holy light.
Yet mercy stirred where mortal hope had ceased,
A voice divine through silence softly broke,
With Christ conjoined, our souls from death released,
In grace reborn, the chains of sin unyoke.
No deed of ours could earn this sacred gain,
For love alone bestowed the victor’s crown,
A gift unasked, through blood and bitter pain,
Restored us whole where guilt had cast us down.
Through Him we rise, hell’s gates in ruin lie,
By grace enthroned, we will reign with Christ on high.

The Wicked Rise of Anti-Biblical Globalism by Debbie Harris

The poem portrays globalism as an evil, anti-biblical force driven by corrupt oligarchs and courts that erode national borders for power and greed. It depicts this ideology as demonic, defying God’s will, and ensnaring the world with false promises. However, it asserts that the faithful will resist, preserving their nations’ sovereignty and divine truth against this unholy tide.

The world lies open, borders torn apart,
By oligarchs who crave a single reign,
Their courts corrupt, they twist the law’s old heart,
To serve a creed where godless shadows gain.
An ideology, unholy, spreads its wings,
Defying scripture’s call to guard the land,
It whispers wealth, but coils with serpent strings,
A demon’s grip in every open hand.
Yet still the faithful see through gilded lies,
The nations’ souls are not for sale or trade,
In heaven’s name, their spirit shall arise,
To cast off chains by global hands arrayed.
For borders blessed by God shall stand secure,
Against this tide, His truth will long endure.

Christ’s Passionate Heir Stands Bold in the Sodom and Gomorrah of Today’s Contemporary Society and Modern Chaos by Debbie Harris

The sonnet portrays a steadfast follower of Christ thriving amid a contemporary society likened to the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah—places of moral decay and rebellion, now symbolizing today’s chaotic, godless culture. In a world where weak souls succumb to secular allure, this passionate believer stands defiantly bold, their faith a blazing light that outshines the darkness. Unashamed, they proclaim their joy and zeal, fueled by Christ’s victory, undeterred by the empty noise of modern life—screens and worldly clamor. Their heart remains unshaken, carving a holy path through the din with fearless resolve. The poem culminates in a triumphant stand against the loud, prideful schemes of a godless age, where Christ’s chosen collectively uphold His truth as their ultimate, conquering foundation.

In Sodom’s glow and Gomorrah’s wild disdain,
Where faint souls drift in modern chaos’ thrall,
Christ’s passionate heir stands bold against the grain,
Their faith a flame that rises over all.
No shame can hush their fierce and joyful shout,
For Christ’s own win ignites their every breath,
They scorn the dark, their spirit breaking out,
A holy zeal that triumphs over death.
Though screens proclaim a loud and empty tune,
Their heart holds fast, a light no storm can sway,
In worldly din, they wield a victor’s boon,
With fearless joy, they carve a sacred way.
Against the roar of godless, prideful schemes,
Christ’s chosen stand, His truth a conquering theme.

Martyrs’ Blood and Golden Pews: A Tribute to the Brutally Persecuted by Radical Islam by Debbie Harris

Globally 100 million Christians face religious persecution. Annually, an estimated 7,000 Christians are killed for their faith! Rise up Church! Rise up and stop this Genocide!

Proverbs 31:8 (NIV) says, Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

While martyrs bleed beneath a tyrant’s hand,
The faithful fall, their cries ascend to God,
In pews of gold, the prosperous demand
A life of ease, untouched by sacred rod.
Their prayers chase wealth, a car, a fleeting crown,
While saints are burned, their witness carved in flame,
The cross, a mockery, is cast down—
A gospel traded for a hollow name.
Yet fire shall test what each has built in time,
The wood, the hay, the stubble—all shall burn,
Gold forged in pain alone shall prove sublime,
For Christ’s own heart the suffering discern.
Awake, O soul, and weep for those who die—
The faithful shine when persecution’s nigh.

A Lament for a Corrupted Realm and the Praise of Those Who Seek God’s Will to Restore Our Nation To One Nation Under God by Debbie Harris

Woe stains the earth, a shadowed tide,
Where corruption festers, far and wide.
The halls of might, once built with pride,
Now crumble ‘neath a faith denied.

The greedy feast, the honest bleed,
A commonwealth choked by deed.
Oh, mourn the trust turned bitter seed,
A government lost to boundless need.

Yet hail the souls, unbowed, alight,
Who rise to wrong the faltered right.
With courage forged in endless night,
They wield their will, a beacon bright.

Through storms of scorn, their voices ring,
To mend the torn, to balm the sting.
Praise to the brave who dare to bring,
A spark of hope on tireless wing.

Alas, the grief, a nation’s scar,
Where corruption reigns both near and far.
Yet praise ascends where faithful are,
Who seek God’s will, our guiding star,
To heal the land, one nation’s plea,
Beneath His grace, in unity.
