To Love God With All Our Hearts, Souls, And Minds by Debbie Harris

Summary of “Exalted King” Poem
The poem “Exalted King” is a reverent tribute to Jesus Christ, celebrating His divine majesty and redemptive power. It portrays Him as the Morning Star who dispels darkness, the merciful Savior who died on the cross, and the eternal King who conquered death. With vivid imagery, it highlights His roles as creator, redeemer, and source of peace, urging hearts to exalt Him in worship.

In the hush of dawn, where light first wakes,
His name resounds, the darkness breaks.
Jesus, the Christ, the Morning Star,
Guides weary souls from near and far.

Through crimson skies, His mercy flows,
In thorn-crowned grace, His love bestows.
The Lamb who bled on Calvary’s tree,
He bore the cross to set us free.

His voice like thunder, soft as dew,
Calls forth the dead, makes all things new.
The Alpha, Omega, eternal King,
Of His great reign, the heavens sing.

From Bethlehem’s babe to risen Lord,
His truth a fire, His Word a sword.
The grave could not His power restrain,
Forever He lives, forever He reigns.

In every heart, His Spirit dwells,
In every storm, His peace compels.
Exalt His name, let anthems rise,
To Christ the King, our sacrifice.

Love the Lord with All Your Heart

Verse: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” (Matthew 22:37, KJV)

With all their heart, they seek God’s face,
A fire within, His boundless grace.
Each beat a vow, each pulse a prayer,
To love the Lord beyond compare.

No part withheld, no love restrained,
Their heart’s devotion fully gained.
In joy or pain, through every start,
God reigns supreme in every heart.

His love ignites their mortal clay,
A lamp to guide them on His way.
With every breath, their hearts will sing,
All for their Savior, Lord, and King.

Love the Lord with All Your Soul

Verse: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” (Matthew 22:37, KJV)

Their soul belongs to God alone,
A sacred spark before His throne.
In depths unseen, His Spirit calls,
Their essence answers, breaks the walls.

No earthly tie can claim its core,
For God their souls were fashioned for.
In worship true, they soar, they cling,
To Him, the source of living springs.

Through trials fierce or peace serene,
Their souls’ devotion remains clean.
Forever bound in love’s sweet thrall,
They give their souls—their all in all.

Love the Lord with All Your Mind

Verses: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” (Matthew 22:37, KJV)
“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16, KJV)

With all their mind, they seek God’s truth,
Through study’s toil, through wisdom’s youth.
The intellect, His gift divine,
To know Him more, His thoughts entwine.

They have the mind of Christ, their guide,
His clarity in them resides.
Each page they turn, each truth they find,
Renews their soul, transforms their mind.

No shallow faith will satisfy,
They probe, they question, seek, and try.
In study deep, God’s Word unfolds,
A treasure vast, His mind beholds.

With reason sharp, they’ll love Him still,
Their thoughts aligned to do His will.
O Lord, their minds are Yours to mold,
For Christ’s own mind in them takes hold.

The poem, inspired by Philippians 2:10-11, is a majestic and exquisite celebration of Jesus Christ’s universal sovereignty as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It portrays all creation—saints, angels, and even those who rejected Him—bowing before His name in awe and confessing His divine authority. The redeemed rejoice in the grace of Christ’s sacrificial blood, while the poem laments the tragic fate of unredeemed souls who, despite seeing His glory, face sorrow for refusing salvation. Vivid imagery of heavens, stars, and earth underscores God’s triumphant reign, culminating in the affirmation that, in the end, God’s love and victory prevail over all.

Philippians 2:10-11 KJV

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

In realms where starlight weaves its golden thread,
And heavens bow beneath the Savior’s tread,
The name of Jesus echoes, vast, supreme,
The King of Kings, the heart of every dream.
All knees shall bend, from earth to cosmic shore,
All tongues confess: He reigns forevermore.

The saints, redeemed by blood so freely spilled,
Rejoice in grace, their hearts with glory filled.
With crowns of light, they sing His holy name,
Their souls ablaze with love’s unyielding flame.
Yet those who turned, who spurned the Lamb’s embrace,
Will see His face and know their rightful place.

From mountain heights to valleys steeped in shade,
From rebel hearts to thrones that pride has made,
All eyes will see the truth that pierces night,
The Lord of Lords in everlasting light.
No shadow flees, no refuge can abide,
Where Christ’s dominion will not override.

How tragic is the soul that stands apart,
Unmoored, unclaimed, with cold and hardened heart!
The blood of Christ, that crimson tide of grace,
Was shed for all, yet some deny its place.
To see His glory, yet to know too late,
The weight of choice that seals their final fate.

Oh, bitter tears for those who kneel in dread,
Unsaved, unhealed, by mercy never led!
The Lamb’s own blood, the ransom freely paid,
Could cleanse their sin, yet they His call evade.
While heaven sings and galaxies align,
Their hearts lament the loss of love divine.

Yet still His mercy calls through time and space,
A Savior’s heart extends to every race.
Before the throne, where justice meets with grace,
The door remains for those who seek His face.
In the end, God’s triumph shall unfold,
His boundless love, more precious than all gold.

Eternal King, whose name all worlds adore,
Your victory reigns from shore to endless shore.
The redeemed rise, their songs forever ring,
While Christ, the Lord, is crowned as sovereign King.
All will know, all will see, all will bow,
The Lamb’s redemption reigns forever now.

ates worship that adheres to biblical order, revealing God’s character of peace and glorifying Jesus, while rejecting chaotic, demonic influences. It begins with believers gathering to offer psalms and teachings, using spiritual gifts to edify the church (lines 1-2). Tongues, when interpreted, build the congregation by making God’s truth accessible to all (lines 3-4). Uninterpreted gibberish and doctrines of demons that distort scriptures are condemned, as they oppose God’s orderly nature (lines 5-6). Instead, orderly worship reflects God’s heart of peace and truth, fostering love and spiritual light (lines 7-8). Prophecy is orderly, with one prophet speaking at a time to glorify Christ, rejecting pagan dances or seizures (lines 9-10). The Holy Spirit exalts Jesus, and worship remains harmonious through structured gifts (lines 11-12). The poem further contrasts demonic ecstasy, which breeds confusion, with peaceful, orderly worship that lifts Christ’s name and reveals God’s tranquil nature (lines 13-16). Finally, all acts of worship, driven by love, must be done decently and in order to exalt Jesus and promote spiritual growth for the entire church (lines 17-18

When saints in worship gather to adore,
With psalms and teachings, gifts to stir the soul,
Tongues, through interpreters, must sense restore,
Translating tongues to build for all the whole.

No wild, unmeaning gibberish may rise,
Doctrines of demons twist the scriptures’ role,
Orderly worship shows God’s heart abide,
To build the church where love and light enroll.

One prophet speaks, in turn, to glorify,
No pagan dance or seizure sways the ground,
For God’s own Spirit lifts our Lord on high,
In harmony, where ordered gifts are found.

No demonic ecstasy may seize the throng,
But peaceful order lifts Christ’s name in grace,
Confusion’s chaos sings no holy song,
God’s tranquil heart shines forth in worship’s place.

In all we do, let love’s true aim increase,
With order, lift our Lord for all prenant, I’ll expand the sonnet to an 18-line poem by adding a quatrain, allowing more space to emphasize “demonic ecstasy” versus “peaceful, orderly worship.” The rhyme scheme will be adapted to ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH II to maintain structure, with the final couplet preserved for closure. Below is the revised and extended sonnet, followed by notes on the changes and alignment with your requests.

Finalized Title (Unchanged):

Sonnet of Worshiping God According to Biblical Order: All Things Done Decently and in Order Reveal God’s Character, Lifting Christ, Not Pagan Frenzy

O Sovereign Lord, enthroned in light,
Your name resounds through endless night.
In royal splendor, crowned with might,
We give the glory due Your sight.

Majestic King, Your voice commands,
The heavens bow, the earth expands.
With golden rays in holy bands,
Your beauty holds our hearts and hands.

In courts of glory, pure and grand,
We worship where Your angels stand.
Your name, a scepter, rules the land,
Its radiance more than stars have spanned.

O Savior, robed in truth and grace,
Your holiness adorns this place.
We lift our songs, Your throne embrace,
To honor You in sacred space.

With hearts alight, we kneel, we sing,
To You, our everlasting King.
Your name, a jewel, forever springs,
All glory to the Lord it brings.

Each morn, a gift for Christ’s own light does gleam,
A holy flame within the heart’s pure stream.
Without, it shines o’er valleys, hills, and skies,
His boundless love in radiant glory lies.

The poem, titled “Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Rules Forever”, inspired by Psalm 97:1, celebrates the sovereign reign of Jesus Christ. It depicts the earth and distant shores rejoicing in His holy and eternal rule. Nature—mountains, skies, and waves—responds with awe and praise, reflecting the joy and reverence of creation under Christ’s unending, just dominion.

Psalm 97:1 – The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. NIV

The Lord reigns, sovereign and true,
The earth hums soft, with joy anew.
Mountains stand in awe, skies proclaim,
His holy, unending, glorious name.

Distant shores lift songs of praise,
Waves dance bright in golden rays.
Creation bows, its heart ablaze,
For God’s just rule shall never fade.
