From darkness’ grip, from sin’s cruel chain,
He broke our bonds, He crushed our pain!
The Father’s grace, in power divine,
Has brought us to His Son’s design.

O Jesus Christ, our glorious Lord,
Your blood has won our soul’s reward!
Through sacrifice, our guilt is gone,
Forgiveness flows where love has shone.

No shadow stands where light prevails,
Your cross, O Christ, forever hails!
Redeemed, we rise, by mercy free,
All glory to our King shall be!

With joyful hearts, we sing Your praise,
Exalt Your name through endless days.
In You, our hope shall never dim,
Jesus, our Redeemer’s hymn!

The sonnet, titled “A Sonnet on Psalm 16:8: ‘I Keep My Eyes Always on the Lord. With Him at My Right Hand, I Will Not Be Shaken’”, captures the themes of steadfast trust and divine guidance from Psalm 16:8 (NIV). Written in Shakespearean form (14 lines, iambic pentameter, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme), it depicts a soul whose unwavering focus on God ensures resilience against fear and adversity. The soul remains unshaken, bolstered by God’s constant presence, strength, and love, even through trials.

The soul’s fixed gaze on God shall never stray,
With heaven’s presence constant at its side.
No fear can dim the peace that hope arrays,
For in divine embrace the soul abides.
Though tempests roar and shadows veil the light,
Their steps are firm, the spirit stands secure.
God’s might upholds the soul through fiercest fight,
A shield of grace, eternal and pure.
No doubt can shake the trust the soul holds dear,
For God, its refuge, kindles sacred flame.
Joy fills the heart where faith forever clears,
And lifts all burdens to a holy name.
With eyes on God, the soul treads sacred way,
Unshaken, held by love that none can sway.

The poem, Gaze Upon Jesus, the Source of Hope and Triumph, urges readers to shift their focus from self-doubt and introspection to the redeeming power of Jesus Christ.

With a hopeful and triumphant tone, the poem calls for constant reliance on Christ, morning and night, assuring that following Him closely leads to eternal freedom and joy, as He is the all-sufficient source of salvation.

Lift thine eyes where hope does rise,
Beyond the self, where shadows flee.
The Spirit calls through morning skies,
To Christ alone—thy victory.

No sin too vast, no faith too small,
No wavering heart can dim His grace.
Satan’s whispers fade, his doubts forestall,
When Jesus’ merits fill thy gaze.

Not thy grip, nor joy, nor fervent plea,
But Christ’s own blood thy soul does free.
His cross, His wounds, His glory be
The anchor of eternity.

Turn from within, where fears abide,
And rest in Him who bore thy shame.
Each dawn, each night, let Christ abide,
His love thy peace, His name thy flame.

Follow close, with eyes held high,
To Jesus, source of hope’s bright call.
In Him alone thy soul shall fly,
For Christ, thy all, is all in all.
