The poem, titled “The Glorious Return of the Faithful and True: Sovereign Christ, Crowned in Eternal Majesty”, vividly portrays the triumphant return of Jesus Christ as described in Revelation 19:11-16. It presents Christ as the majestic rider on a white horse, embodying divine authority, righteousness, and victory. Key imagery includes His fiery eyes that pierce all darkness, a blood-dipped robe symbolizing His sacrifice, a mysterious name known only to Himself, and a sharp sword from His mouth representing the power of His word. The poem depicts Christ leading heaven’s armies, treading the winepress of divine judgment, and reigning as the eternal King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The tone is regal and reverent, emphasizing His justice, mercy, and unassailable sovereignty, with vivid descriptions of His glory and the ultimate triumph over evil. The poem concludes with a call for all to bow before His eternal reign, capturing the awe-inspiring vision of Christ’s return.

From heavens rent, the skies unfold,
A vision gleams, eternal, bold.
Upon a steed, white as the morn,
The King of Kings in might is born.

His eyes, like flames, burn through the night,
No sin can hide from piercing light.
With righteous gaze, He sees all truth,
His judgment swift, His verdict sooth.

His robe, dipped red with sacred cost,
Bears witness to the blood He lost.
The Faithful One, the Word divine,
His victory shines through endless time.

A name He bears, known but to Him,
A mystery veiled where angels hymn.
Yet crowns on crowns His head adorn,
The Lord of Lords, forever sworn.

His charger treads where darkness falls,
Its thunder shakes the ancient walls.
No earthly throne could bear His reign,
For He is truth, and none shall wane.

From His mouth springs a sword of might,
Its edge divides the wrong from right.
He treads the winepress, fierce and just,
And evil’s pride returns to dust.

Behind Him ride the hosts of heaven,
In linen white, their sins forgiven.
No weapon drawn, yet they prevail,
For Christ alone shall never fail.

O Sovereign Lord, whose rule is sure,
Whose mercy makes the broken pure,
Your name alone makes shadows flee,
Your kingdom stands eternally.

King of Kings, with glory bright,
Your voice resounds through endless light.
Lord of Lords, all powers confess,
Your reign shall know no end, no less.

Ride forth, O Christ, in splendor grand,
The scepter firm within Your hand.
All knees shall bow, all hearts shall sing,
To You, the everlasting King.

The Radiant Diadem of the Father’s Name, Sealing the 144,000 as Heaven’s Chosen Heralds Against the Beast’s Curse in the Last Days’ Fire is a vivid, majestic poem that celebrates the biblical seal of God placed on the 144,000 young, virgin Jews during the Tribulation, as described in Revelation 7:2-4, 9:4, and 14:1 (KJV). The seal, depicted as a radiant, celestial diadem bearing the Father’s name, marks these chosen servants for divine protection against God’s judgments and the Antichrist’s wrath, distinguishing them from those with the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-17). The poem portrays the 144,000 as heaven’s heralds, boldly preaching the Gospel to bring a multitude from all nations to salvation (Revelation 7:9-10), and as royal heirs under the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, anointed with divine glory.

The imagery is breathtaking, with the seal likened to a supernova’s holy pyre, sapphire seas, comet-like rubies, emerald Eden, and auroras’ waltz, creating a “wow” effect that underscores the seal’s divine splendor. The poem emphasizes the 144,000’s privileged role as God’s chosen, protected from plagues (Revelation 9:4) and the beast’s curse, with their evangelistic mission leading to eternal redemption. It culminates in a climactic finish, proclaiming their sacred splendor and glory as God’s heirs, sealed with His light for eternity. Grounded in the KJV text, the poem weaves scriptural accuracy with regal, awe-inspiring language to honor the 144,000’s divine calling.

Revelation 7:2-4
“And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”

Revelation 9:4
“And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.”

Revelation 14:1
“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”

From heaven’s throne, where galaxies in splendor soar,
A seal descends, a star of sacred lore.
Its brilliance surges, a supernova’s holy pyre,
Forged in God’s own heart, where eternities aspire.

A diamond’s radiance, with sapphire’s boundless sea,
It pulses vibrant, where celestial glories flee.
Rubies blaze like comets, trailing scarlet majesty,
Emeralds bloom like Eden, crowned in verdant ecstasy.

In Tribulation’s darkness, young virgin Jews arise,
The hundred forty and four thousand, marked by heaven’s eyes.
Sealed with God’s own name, from beast’s dark curse set free,
They preach the Gospel bold, to save a vast decree.

This seal—a diadem, of opal’s radiant glow,
Each facet sings with grace no mortal heart can know.
Soft as starlight’s kiss, yet fierce as seraph’s flame,
It guards His chosen heralds, His holy, sacred claim.

No wrath of Antichrist can dim its blazing light,
No plague can touch the souls who bear His Father’s might.
It shines as heaven’s scepter, a regal, holy sign,
Anointing them as monarchs, by God’s own will divine.

Oh, see it gleam, like auroras’ boundless waltz,
A prismed crown that holds the stars in vaults.
Each mark a throne, a vow within the soul,
Through which their witness calls a multitude to whole.

The seal of God, a shield of celestial grace,
Proclaims His chosen worthy of His holy place.
Beneath the King of Kings, they shine in sacred splendor,
Their foreheads sealed with light, His heirs in glory’s grandeur.

The poem, In Crimson Robe and Thigh Inscribed: King of Kings and Lord of Lords, inspired by Revelation 19:16 (KJV), vividly portrays the majestic and divine return of Jesus Christ. It depicts a rider emerging under a golden, roaring sky, clad in a crimson robe radiant with starlight, symbolizing his supreme authority. The inscription on his thigh, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, burns with divine grace, proclaiming his eternal sovereignty. His piercing eyes, commanding voice, and cosmic steed conquer chaos, reshaping creation with justice and love. The poem culminates in a vision of his enduring name and throne, where only born-again hearts abide forever, emphasizing spiritual rebirth and eternal communion with the divine. The imagery is rich, royal, and triumphant, echoing the grandeur of the scriptural verse.

Revelation 19:16 (KJV)
“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

Beneath a sky of molten gold, where heavens crack and roar,
A rider strides on clouds of flame, his glory to restore.
His robe, a cascade of crimson, dipped in starlight’s sacred hue,
Drapes o’er his form, majestic, fierce, with power pure and true.

Upon his thigh, a script divine, in letters carved by grace,
Burns bright as suns that crown the dawn, yet holds a kingly space.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the title boldly gleams,
A sovereign seal, eternal, vast, fulfilling heaven’s dreams.

His eyes, like lanterns of the dawn, pierce through the shadowed veil,
Each glance a sword, each gaze a law, where mortal hopes prevail.
His steed, a storm of alabaster, hooves sparking cosmic fire,
Tramples chaos, treads the stars, and lifts creation higher.

The scepter in his hand commands the tides of time and fate,
Galaxies bow, their orbits stilled, before his royal state.
His voice, a thunder clad in silk, speaks justice, love, and might,
Reshaping worlds with every word, dispelling endless night.

The name upon his thigh endures, a beacon, fierce and grand,
No force of hell, no fleeting shade, can stay his righteous hand.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the anthem echoes wide,
A crown of light, a throne of truth, where born-again hearts abide forever.

In the twilight’s hush where shadows fall,
We’re called to stand as sentinels on the wall.
Royally redeemed, with hearts ablaze,
We pierce the gloom of these perilous days.
The times are evil, the seasons dire,
Yet God’s own spark sets our souls afire.

The world spins wild, its tumult roars,
Deceptions dance through open doors.
But we, the chosen, with eyes awake,
Guard the ramparts for the Kingdom’s sake.
With wisdom sharp as a two-edged sword,
We hold the truth of our sovereign Lord.

May we be watchmen, steadfast, bold,
Discerning signs as the prophets foretold.
May we be watchwomen, firm and true,
With spirits fierce, yet tender too.
For in these hours where darkness reigns,
The light of Christ through us sustains.

The wall is high, the vigil long,
Yet faith’s refrain is our battle song.
No storm can shake, no foe can sway,
The ones who watch till the break of day.
We scan the horizon, our hearts attest,
The King’s return will outshine the west.

O redeemed of God, lift up your voice,
In evil days, make faith your choice.
The seasons whisper, the end draws near,
Yet in His promise, we cast out fear.
May we be watchmen, watchwomen strong,
Proclaiming hope through the night so long.

On Zion’s wall, we take our stand,
With heaven’s fire held in our hand.
Through trials fierce, through tempests tall,
We’ll keep the watch upon the wall.
For Christ has called, His grace our guide,
Till glory dawns and we reign at His side.

In days where shadows twist and creep,
Where evil wakes while virtue sleeps,
We, royally redeemed, stand tall,
Answering the Spirit’s clarion call.

The times unfold, the seasons turn,
Discern the signs, let hearts still burn.
With eyes like sentinels, fixed and keen,
We guard the truth, the pure, unseen.

The world grows dark, its tempests rage,
Yet grace sustains this sacred stage.
Clad in armor, faith our shield,
We hold the line, we shall not yield.

O watchmen, women, rise and see,
The hour demands eternity.
For Christ, our King, has set us free,
To shine as light through iniquity.

The days are evil, yet we stand,
With heaven’s fire within our hands.
Proclaim the truth, the season’s near,
The redeemed will triumph, have no fear.

“In the Morning, Lord, I Lay My Voice Before You and Wait Expectantly” (Psalm 5:3) Sonnet by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, titled “In the Morning, Lord, I Lay My Voice Before You and Wait Expectantly” (Psalm 5:3), is a poetic reflection of Psalm 5:3, capturing the themes of morning prayer, eager anticipation, and trust in Christ’s sovereign response to prayers, whether “yes or no.” Written in a traditional sonnet form with an ABBA rhyme scheme and iambic pentameter, it uses vivid imagery of dawn, flight, and light to depict a gender-neutral speaker’s spiritual journey. The speaker offers fervent prayers at dawn, seeking Christ, King of Kings, with trust and humility. Their soul finds peace and strength in His mercy, and they wait expectantly for His answer, trusting His sovereign hand. The final stanza emphasizes Christ as their “hope and radiant stay,” culminating in the soul soaring in hope, enveloped by His love, likened to a dawn. The sonnet unifies these themes through recurring motifs of light (“dawn’s first glow,” “heaven’s light,” “His love, a dawn”) and ascent (“takes flight,” “soars,” “like incense rise”), reflecting the Psalm’s focus on morning devotion and expectant faith.

In dawn’s first glow, their prayer to God takes flight,
A fervent cry, with hope and faith it soars,
Their voice, in quiet trust, seeks heaven’s light,
Laying their heart’s deep longings at Christ’s doors.

At morn they rise, their pleas like incense rise,
Seeking the Christ whose mercy streams like flame,
With humble words, no shadow veils their cries,
They rest in grace where sacred beams proclaim.

No falsehood stains the prayers they softly weave,
Their soul laid bare to Jesus’ holy gaze,
In reverent peace, their fears find sweet reprieve,
They find their strength in Him through radiant days.

Christ, King of Kings, their hope and radiant stay,
They wait with longing hearts for answered prayer,
Yes or no, His sovereign hand they bear,
His love, a dawn, their soul in hope will soar.

Church On Every Corner by Debbie Harris

On every corner, steeples rise,
Pointing to the open skies.
Brick and mortar, hymns resound,
Yet is the true church found?

When doors swing wide, and souls depart,
Do they carry Christ within their heart?
Or is it show, a fleeting gleam,
A social club’s limelight dream?

The biblical church, no walls confine,
It’s Spirit-led, a holy vine.
Bound by faith, not status or fame,
Living for the Savior’s name.

But some chase clout, a hollow song,
Where pride and pomp do not belong.
Hypocrisy, a gilded mask,
Forgets the cross, the sacred task.

True church walks out, in lives transformed,
By love and truth, their hearts reformed.
No spotlight sought, no fleeting cheer,
But Christ alone, forever near.

So leave the pew, yet still abide,
In Him who calls, who is our guide.
For church is not where corners meet,
But where His Spirit makes us complete.

Precious Church Do We Truly Build Each Other Up? by Debbie Harris

In sacred halls where hearts entwine,
A church, a beacon, built divine.
Do we, as kin, each other raise,
Or wander lost in selfish days?
With open doors and souls laid bare,
Can we truly mend what’s worn by care?

Through whispered prayers and songs that soar,
We seek the light we all adore.
Each hand extended, each tear dried,
Becomes the bridge where hope resides.
Yet do our actions match our creed,
Or falter in the face of need?

When shadows fall, and doubts take hold,
When hearts grow weary, spirits cold,
A gentle word, a steadfast friend,
Can spark the flame that helps us mend.
With hands clasped tight, we bear the load,
Each step a vow on faith’s great road.

The stranger welcomed, table spread,
A seat for all, no soul unfed.
In hospitality’s warm embrace,
We find the beauty of God’s grace.
But do we open wide our door,
Or guard our hearts, and offer more?

When one among us stumbles low,
Do we reach down, or turn and go?
A woven cord, our strength combined,
Lifts up the lost, the left behind.
In truth, in song, in humble care,
We rise as one, our burdens shared.

The broken find a place to heal,
The silenced find their voice to feel.
The lonely name this house their home,
No heart condemned to walk alone.
Yet still we ask, with searching gaze,
Do we reflect love’s boundless ways?

Through every trial, every storm,
This church, our refuge, keeps us warm.
Each act of kindness, small or grand,
Builds up the weak to firmly stand.
With care that binds, through love we strive,
To keep this sacred flame alive.

In fellowship, we’re called to be
A light for all eternity.
With open hearts, we seek to prove
The strength of grace, the truth of love.
But as we gather, hand in hand,
Church, do we really build each other up?

The sonnet “A Zeal for Things of Spirit” urges a passionate pursuit of spiritual virtues and divine connection. It calls for hearts to burn with zeal for the unseen, divine light, prioritizing spiritual truth over earthly gains. The poem emphasizes seeking divine wisdom in quiet moments, letting faith guide life’s path, and living with fervent devotion to eternal truths, culminating in a renewed soul united with heaven’s boundless purpose.

May we, with zealous hearts, pursue the flame
That kindles spirit’s light in silent grace,
Where unseen truths illuminate our aim,
And holy fire warms the soul’s embrace.

No earthly gain can match the sacred call
To seek the whispers of the divine will,
In quiet depths where mortal fears grow small,
And love’s eternal song resounds there still.

Let fervor guide our steps through fleeting days,
To chase the light that never fades nor bends,
With ardent faith, our hearts shall blaze always,
In unity with heaven’s boundless ends.

So may we live, with spirit’s zeal imbued,
Our souls alight, by sacred truth renewed.

The Sacred Pursuit of Love’s Timeless Creed by Debbie Harris

Summary of “The Sacred Pursuit of Love’s Timeless Creed”

The poem, inspired by 1 Corinthians 13, portrays love as a divine, enduring force that shapes relationships through patience, kindness, and selflessness. It begins by depicting love as a gentle, patient river, free from envy, pride, or boasting, weaving a tapestry of care and humility. Love rejects anger and scorekeeping, instead anchoring itself in truth and righteousness, offering forgiveness and an outstretched hand. It bears burdens, trusts unwaveringly, hopes through darkness, and perseveres eternally, forming an unbroken circle of peace. The poem urges readers to pursue this love actively, letting it guide actions in joy and hardship, as a timeless, divine compass that intertwines hearts and reflects God’s eternal promise.

In the quiet of the heart, where true love grows,
Patience blooms soft, like a river that flows.
Kindness, its partner, with gentle hands weaves,
A tapestry warm, where no envy grieves.

Cast aside pride, let no boasting take hold,
Love speaks in whispers, not stories retold.
It honors, it bends, never seeking its own,
A selfless embrace, where true seeds are sown.

Anger may spark, but love douses the flame,
Forgiving, forgetting, it carries no shame.
Truth is its anchor, through storms it will stand,
Rejoicing in right, with an outstretched hand.

Love bears the weight, believes through the night,
Hopes when the shadows obscure all the light.
Enduring, unyielding, it never will cease,
A circle unbroken, a haven of peace.

Pursue this love, let it guide every deed,
In patience, in kindness, in meeting the need.
For love, as God spoke, is the greatest of all,
A song ever sung, answering heaven’s call.
