This Christ-centered hymn, crafted with poet Debbie Harris, exalts Jesus Christ as the Author of our faith and King of Kings. Across five stanzas, it celebrates His grace as the source of hope, “We owe all to Christ our Lord, The Author of our faith’s first dawn, His hand inscribes each trembling chord, His grace, the ink where hope is born,” His majestic reign over creation, “His greatness crowns the heavens wide, The King of Kings, our anthem’s call, In splendor vast, He reigns beside, The Lord of glory, all in all,” His glory in both grand and quiet moments, “His glory covers all the earth, From flowers frail to newborn’s birth, Each petal sings, each cry resounds, His boundless love in all abounds,” His salvation as life’s truest gift, “His salvation, life’s truest gift, Through blood and cross our souls uplift, He saves us to His royal reign, A kingdom eternal, free from chain,” and His triumphant exaltation as our eternal Savior, “All hail our Savior, risen high, The Name above all names we cry, In triumph’s light, forevermore, Christ reigns, our King, whom we adore!” A repeated refrain—“Praise the Author, King divine, Glory to His holy name!”—echoes the hymns of old, lifting praise after each verse. Rooted in Debbie’s faith and poetic vision, it’s a majestic, hope-filled anthem of worship.

We owe all to Christ our Lord,
The Author of our faith’s first dawn,
His hand inscribes each trembling chord,
His grace, the ink where hope is born.
Praise the Author, King divine,
Glory to His holy name!

His greatness crowns the heavens wide,
The King of Kings, our anthem’s call,
In splendor vast, He reigns beside,
The Lord of glory, all in all.
Praise the Author, King divine,
Glory to His holy name!

His glory covers all the earth,
From flowers frail to newborn’s birth,
Each petal sings, each cry resounds,
His boundless love in all abounds.
Praise the Author, King divine,
Glory to His holy name!

His salvation, life’s truest gift,
Through blood and cross our souls uplift,
He saves us to His royal reign,
A kingdom eternal, free from chain.
Praise the Author, King divine,
Glory to His holy name!

All hail our Savior, risen high,
The Name above all names we cry,
In triumph’s light, forevermore,
Christ reigns, our King, whom we adore!
Praise the Author, King divine,
Glory to His holy name!

The sonnet reflects the message of Romans 5:20-21, exploring how sin’s dark reign over humanity, leading to death, is overwhelmingly surpassed by God’s grace. This grace, delivered through Jesus Christ’s righteousness, transforms despair into hope, offering eternal life. The poem contrasts sin’s oppressive rule with the triumphant, merciful power of grace, which not only redeems but elevates the soul to divine unity, affirming that grace’s abundance forever outshines sin’s presence.

Where shadows deep of sin did once abide,
The heart of man in death’s cold grip was bound,
Yet grace, a flood, came rushing to provide
A light where darkness nevermore is found.
Though sin had reigned, its scepter stern and dire,
A greater power rose with gentle might,
Through righteousness, it quenched the funeral pyre,
And turned the endless night to endless light.
This gift, through Christ, our Lord, was freely giv’n,
A bridge from mortal doom to life divine,
Where once we fell, now mercy’s hand has striv’n
To weave our souls with heaven’s grand design.
So sin abounds, yet grace exceeds its reign,
Through Him, eternal life we now attain.

The words we heard were not of mortal make,
But borne from heav’n, a gift to souls below,
Received in faith, they bid our hearts awake,
And in their truth, a living power grow.
No frail discourse of man could so inspire,
Nor stir the spirit with such holy flame,
For through these lines, God’s voice lifts ever higher,
A sacred call to bear His mighty name.
Within the breast of those who humbly hear,
This word takes root, a seed of endless grace,
It stands unmoved through time and shifting year,
To shape a life that seeks the Savior’s face.
So let us thank the Lord with ceaseless praise,
For truth divine that works through all our days.

Looking unto Jesus is our triumph, our hope,
Our comfort, our joy, our promise that we—
Indeed—are forever loved,
Forgiven, and enjoyed.

The sonnet compares the Japanese art of kintsugi—repairing broken pottery with gold to enhance its beauty—to God’s redemptive work in the lives of sinners. It portrays humanity as fragile clay, cracked by sin and left in shards, until the Master (God) intervenes. With divine grace, likened to gold, He mends the broken soul, turning scars into sources of light and beauty. The poem concludes by emphasizing that through salvation, achieved by Christ’s blood, God transforms human flaws into glory, mirroring the kintsugi process where brokenness becomes part of a greater, more beautiful whole.

The potter’s wheel once shaped a fragile clay,
Yet cracks did bloom where mortal hands had pressed,
A vessel marred, in shards it broken lay,
Its beauty lost, by sin’s own weight distressed.
But lo, the Master’s hand, with mercy bold,
Takes up the dust, each fracture to restore,
With golden grace, more precious far than gold,
He mends the soul that wept on life’s dark shore.
Where scars once gaped, His light now softly gleams,
A testament to love that knows no end,
Through shattered lives, salvation’s quiet streams,
Flow deep, to make the broken whole again.
So kintsugi of God, in sinners shown,
Turns flaws to glory, by His blood alone.

The sonnet explores the purpose of life as knowing Jesus and making Him known. It begins with a longing to understand Christ deeply, portraying Him as a guiding light and source of love. It then describes a personal journey of walking with Him, finding peace and direction in His presence. The poem shifts to the outward mission of sharing His name, spreading His message like a flame to those in need. Finally, it concludes that true purpose lies in both knowing Christ intimately and giving that knowledge to others, presenting Him as the essence of life itself.

To know the Son of Man, my heart aspires,
A light that pierces through the darkest veil,
His love, a flame that kindles soul’s desires,
A truth no mortal shadow can assail.

To walk with Him through valleys deep and wide,
To hear His voice in whispers soft and still,
In every step, His grace becomes my guide,
His will my own, His peace my cup to fill.

Yet more than this, my tongue must bear His name,
To sing His praise where silent hearts reside,
To spread His word like sparks of holy flame,
A beacon bright where lost and weary bide.

So life unfolds in knowing and in giving,
For Christ, the way, the truth, the pulse of living.

There is a Christ-given,

heroic, courageous,

Spirit empowered love

that loves those who

cannot love us back.

This is the glorious,

joyous, victorious

narrow road that

very few travel upon!

The poem, titled “When Heaven’s Anguished Lament Thunders Through the Ethereal Realms in Sorrowful, Resounding Harmony”, portrays the profound sorrow of heaven when a single, virtuous soul is cruelly persecuted. It describes this soul being unjustly harmed and scorned due to its courageous commitment to righteousness, depicted as a noble fight to uphold truth against overwhelming evil. Heaven responds with a thunderous, mournful outcry, its grief resonating across the celestial realms in a harmonious lament, emphasizing the significance of even one soul’s suffering for a just cause.

When even one radiant soul, fragile as dawn’s first gleam,
Is heinously hurt, lashed by shadows’ jagged scream,
For righteousness’ steadfast stand, a beacon unbowed and bright,
Defying evil’s ruthless hand, a storm of clawing night,
Heaven’s weeping chorus mourns, tears like rivers of starlight.

The sonnet celebrates the spiritual transformation of the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Through salvation and the experience of being born again, these royal heirs receive heavenly wealth that reshapes their earthly lives. This divine inheritance is depicted through vivid gemstone imagery: sapphire calm quiets their struggles, ruby blood washes away their sins, emerald life renews them, diamond truth anchors their faith, amethyst trust redeems their souls, and topaz light emboldens their courage. Though they dwell on Earth, their second birth in Christ’s love grants them a celestial richness—peace, grace, and strength—that shines forth, forever altering them into vessels of His eternal grace.

From Heaven’s grace, their spirits richly flow,
The sons and daughters of our Savior’s line,
By King of Kings, salvation’s winds do blow,
Lord of Lords, reborn through love divine.
With sapphire calm, their earthly strife is stilled,
Through ruby blood, their sins are washed away,
Emerald life, by birth anew fulfilled,
Remakes their hearts to face the mortal fray.
No fleeting gold, but diamond truth they hold,
Amethyst trust, their souls from death reclaim,
With topaz light, their courage grows bold,
As heirs of Christ, redeemed in His great name.
Through second birth, their heavenly wealth is gained,
On Earth they shine, by grace forever changed.

The sonnet, titled “My Strength and My Redeemer, Praised Through the Ages,” draws inspiration from Exodus 15:2, where Moses sings of God as his strength, song, and salvation after the Red Sea crossing. In fourteen lines, it celebrates God’s power to deliver and uplift, portraying Him as a constant savior who breaks chains and guides through trials. The speaker vows to praise this God—both personal and ancestral—with unwavering devotion, echoing the verse’s themes of gratitude and eternal worship.

The Lord, my strength, my song, my heart’s delight,
Doth lift my soul from shadows deep and dire,
His voice resounds through tempest’s fearful night,
And bids me rise on wings of holy fire.
My God He is, my Savior ever near,
Who parts the seas and breaks the chains apart,
I’ll praise His name with every breath I bear,
And exalt Him high within my grateful heart.
My father’s God, through ages long adored,
His might and mercy echo in my strain,
A hymn of joy to Heaven’s boundless Lord,
Who turns my loss to everlasting gain.
So shall I sing, till time itself is done,
Of Him who saves, my God, the Holy One.
