Sonnet Of The Trumpet’s Call: The Rapture by Debbie Harris

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I Thessalonians 4: 13-18 (KJV)

Let not your hearts be shadowed by despair,
O brethren, for the ones who sleep in peace,
Their silence holds a promise, pure and fair—
Through Christ, their souls shall find a sweet release.

For as He died and rose, defying death,
So too shall those who rest in Him arise,
When heaven splits with shout and holy breath,
The archangel’s voice shall pierce the skies.

A trumpet sounds, the Lord descends in might,
The dead in Christ shall first ascend on high,
Then we, still clad in mortal day and night,
Shall join them in the clouds, no more to sigh.

Eternal with our Lord, in air we’ll stand,
A hope unshaken, held by His command.

Sonnet : The Gospel’s Power by Debbie Harris

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:16 (KJV)

I stand unashamed beneath the sacred word,
The gospel of my Lord, my heart’s delight,
A power divine, by mortal ears unheard,
That breaks the dark with beams of holy light.
To Jew it came, the firstborn of God’s grace,
A promise kept through ages long foretold,
Then to the Greek, to every seeking face,
A salvation vast, for timid and for bold.
No chains can bind this truth that sets us free,
No shadow dim its everlasting flame,
For in its call, the soul finds liberty,
And sings with joy the Savior’s blessed name.
So let me proclaim, with neither fear nor shame,
The gospel’s might, eternal and the same.

No Condemnation: A Sonnet of Grace by Debbie Harris

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 (KJV)

In Christ, no judgment casts its heavy shade,
For those who tread not flesh’s fleeting way,
But follow Spirit’s call, their hearts remade,
A freedom blooms where once was stern decay.

The law of sin, with chains of guilt entwined,
No longer binds the soul that seeks His grace,
For in His love, a pardon pure we find,
A peace beyond the world’s accusing face.

Through mortal steps, the flesh may pull astray,
Yet Spirit lifts us to a higher plane,
Where condemnation fades like night to day,
And life eternal flows through every vein.

So walk in Him, and fear no righteous rod,
For Jesus’ blood has reconciled us—God.

Faith Cometh By Hearing And Hearing By the Word Of God by Debbie Harris

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

Romans 10:17 (KJV)

By hearing wakes the soul to faith’s embrace,
A whisper soft, yet mighty in its call,
The word of God unfolds with boundless grace,
Through mortal ears, it echoes to enthrall.

No eye beholds the seed that stirs within,
Yet sound alone can plant the heart’s desire,
A sacred voice redeems us from our sin,
And lifts us high on wings of holy fire.

Each syllable resounds with truth divine,
A testament to power ever near,
The deafened soul begins to intertwine
With promises that conquer doubt and fear.

So faith, by hearing, blooms where words are sown,
And God’s own voice claims hearts as His alone.

But God by Debbie Harris

Amid the storms that rage with darkened might,
When shadows cloak the soul in deep despair,
And mortal strength dissolves beneath the fight,
A whispered truth ascends the heavy air:
“But God,” the heart declares through trembling breath,
A sovereign hand that parts the tempest’s roar,
A light that pierces through the veil of death,
Restoring what the broken cannot restore.
Though chaos reigns and human hopes may fade,
His mercy flows where reason finds no way,
A rock unshaken, promises unswayed,
The dawn that turns the night to endless day.
So let the world its fleeting doubts proclaim,
“But God” remains my refuge and my flame.

The Dawn Of Righteousness by Debbie Harris

The righteous path begins with dawn’s faint gleam,
A tender light that breaks the grip of night,
It rises soft, a slow and steady beam,
And grows in strength to banish dark from sight.
Like morning sun, it climbs with gentle grace,
Through mists of doubt, it carves a golden way,
Each step reveals a clearer, brighter space,
Till shadows flee before the blaze of day.
No storm can dim this radiance divine,
No cloud obscure its sure, unerring course,
For truth and goodness in its rays align,
A quiet power drawn from heaven’s source.
So shines the soul that walks in virtue’s sight,
Full noon arrives—eternal, pure, and bright.

Through trials deep and mountains high,
With faith, we rise, we touch the sky.
His strength within, a steady stream,
Christ lifts us up to stand supreme.

When shadows fall and doubts take hold,
His power turns the weak to bold.
In every step, through joy or strife,
His living might sustains our life.

The Inerrant Bible : Holy Testaments Of Beauty,Truth, Love, Mercy, Justice, And Grace by Debbie Harris

The sacred page in stillness speaks to all,
Its words, unerring, carved by heaven’s hand,
No flaw within its truth shall ever fall,
A rock eternal where the faithful stand.

Its beauty flows like rivers pure and deep,
Each verse a jewel, each line a golden thread,
Through ages vast, its promises it keeps,
A living voice that wakes the silent dead.

No mortal pen could match its holy art,
Nor time erode the light it freely gives,
It binds the soul and purifies the heart,
In every breath of scripture, beauty lives.

So stands the Word, unblemished, fair, and true,
A gift divine, forever born anew.

Veil Of Earth, Throne Of Sky by Debbie Harris

Earthly treasures, grand yet frail,
a mirage destined to pale,
Heaven’s riches, vast and high,
crown the soul with glory’s cry.

Jesus Christ, The Ceaseless Light Of The World by Debbie Harris

Amid the void where tempests reign supreme,
A sovereign blaze ignites the celestial stream,
A regal light, unconquered, vast, and grand,
Proclaiming glory o’er the trembling land.

The heavens bow, their starry thrones ablaze,
As His resplendent beams transcend all days,
A torrent fierce of molten gold unfurls,
Crowning the firmament, outshining pearls.

O’er peaks that pierce the vaulted sky’s expanse,
His luminous decree in splendor dance,
A scepter’s glow through realms unbound by time,
An anthem carved in everlasting chime.

Through shattered wastes where mortal hopes decay,
His radiant will ascends in bold array,
A monarch’s dawn, majestic, pure, and free,
The ceaseless Light enthroned eternally.
