The poem, titled “O America, Turn Back Before the Shadows of Sin Consume Your Soul”, is a passionate lament and urgent call for America to return to faith in God. It portrays a nation drifting from its spiritual roots, entangled in sin and blasphemous ideologies, and facing potential destruction as a result. The poem emphasizes the biblical promise that a nation whose God is the Lord will be blessed, contrasting this with America’s current state of pride, greed, and moral decline. It pleads for repentance, warning of the consequences of continued rebellion while offering hope through the Savior’s mercy and grace. The tone is both mournful and hopeful, urging the nation to humble itself, seek forgiveness, and be restored to divine favor before it’s too late.

O land of liberty, once bright and bold,
Your heart now wanders, your spirit grown cold.
The stars that once gleamed in your banner’s weave,
Now dim under shadows of truths we bereave.

Our Precious Savior, with arms open wide,
Calls back His people, yet we turn aside.
Sin’s chains entangle, ideologies blind,
Blasphemous whispers corrupt heart and mind.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
Whose hope is His mercy, whose strength is His Word.
But we’ve built altars to pride and to greed,
Sowing destruction in thought, word, and deed.

America, hear! The hour is late,
Repent and return, or seal your fate.
The wages of sin bring a ruin untold,
A nation unmoored, a fire grown cold.

Yet hope still remains where the humble will kneel,
Where broken hearts turn to the One who can heal.
O Savior, restore us, forgive our disgrace,
Revive us in truth, let us seek Your face.

For if we abide in Your love and Your light,
Our nation may rise from this perilous night.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
America, turn, and be whole, be restored!

In days of darkness, fierce and grim,
Where Satan’s lies grow bold and dim,
Blasphemous voices, vile, profane,
Call evil good, and good disdain.
From every corner, sin’s deceit,
Attacks the faithful at Christ’s feet.
With heinous scorn, the truth they spurn,
Yet God’s own Word shall never burn.

No time to hide, no time to bend,
The Church must rise, the truth defend!
Not with the sword, but with His Word,
Let Biblical truth be boldly heard.
Stand firm, ye saints, in faith abide,
Proclaim the Cross where Christ has died!
The Gospel’s light, so pure, so free,
Transforms the heart, sets captives free.

America, once a beacon bright,
Now stumbles blind in moral night.
Her soul adrift, her ways defiled,
Yet mercy calls—return, God’s child!
Repent, O nation, seek His face,
Embrace the gift of saving grace.
No other path can make us whole,
But Christ, who heals the sin-sick soul.

Oh, Church, arise! Speak loud, speak true!
The Word of God will see us through.
No compromise with wicked schemes,
No silence dimming heaven’s gleams.
With fervent prayer, with fearless voice,
Declare salvation—man’s true choice.
For Jesus reigns, His truth endures,
His glorious hope forever yours.

Lord, have mercy, hear our plea,
Revive this land, set spirits free.
Let hearts return, let truth resound,
Till every knee to Christ is bowed.
Stand bold, proclaim His holy name,
His saving love, forever the same.
The time is now—His truth declare,
And spread His light through every prayer.

A Call To Take A Biblical Stand No More Insipid Lukewarm Christianity by Debbie Harris

In shadows deep, where evil wakes,
A Satanic tide, the righteous breaks.
Blasphemous tongues, with venom bold,
Call wicked good, and good they scold.
From halls of power to streets defiled,
The truth of God is mocked, reviled.
Demonic schemes, with heinous might,
Assault the saints who bear the light.

No time to cower, no time to flee,
The Church of Christ must bend the knee!
Not to the world, its lies, its chains,
But to the King who ever reigns!
Rise up, ye warriors, clad in truth,
Proclaim the Word to age and youth!
The Cross, our banner, high we raise,
To shatter darkness, end its days.

This land, America, once so blessed,
Now courts the curse, in sin confessed.
Her heart grows cold, her soul astray,
Yet mercy calls—repent today!
The Gospel’s power, the only cure,
Transforms the heart, makes vile hearts pure.
Salvation’s gift, so freely given,
Through Christ alone, the way to heaven.

Oh, Church, awake! Contend, be strong!
The battle rages, the night is long.
With Scripture’s sword, with fervent prayer,
Defy the evil, the serpent’s lair.
No compromise with Satan’s wiles,
No shrinking back from scornful smiles.
For Jesus’ name, we stand, we fight,
To spread His truth, His holy light.

Lord, have mercy, hear our cry,
Revive this nation lest it die.
Let hearts repent, let souls return,
Let fires of faith once more burn.
The time is now, the call is clear,
Proclaim His name—let all men hear!
For Christ, our Lord, shall overcome,
And lead His faithful safely home.

Contending for the Cross, Part II: A Sonnet on Charlie Kirk’s Bold Stand and Our Call to Faith by Debbie Harris

Like Joseph, pure, temptation’s lure he spurned,
His righteous heart for God’s own truth did burn.
Like Daniel, bold, through lions’ den he turned,
To kneel in faith, no fear could overturn.
Old Noah built, though scoffers mocked his aim,
Obeyed through floods, God’s holy will his flame.
Saint Stephen, stoned, yet love’s sweet grace proclaimed,
Forgave with breath that glorified God’s name.
Disciples bold, through pain, Christ’s truth they bore,
Like Charlie Kirk, who faced the hateful roar—
For Savior stood, no matter cost or thorn.
Do I, like them, with zeal God’s truth adorn?
In love and truth, do I His cross embrace—
Am I a bold and loving contender for the faith?

Sonnet: Are We Doing Enough for Jesus Christ Our King When He Has Done Everything For Us? by Debbie Harris

Summary of “Are We Doing Enough for Jesus Christ Our King?”

This sonnet critiques superficial devotion to Christ amid abundance, contrasting hymns of praise with the neglect of the needy—strangers, the sick, and marginalized—who embody His suffering presence. It questions whether we merely utter His name on Sundays while ignoring justice and mercy, pleading for forgiveness and guidance to serve Him in the lowly, recognizing His kingdom in their wounds.

In halls of plenty, where our treasures gleam,
We crown with songs the King enthroned on high,
Yet in the shadows, where the shadows scream,
His thirsting voice we pass with blinded eye.
The stranger at our gate, with weary plea,
Bears nail-scarred hands we deem but beggar’s art;
The sick we quarantine from love’s decree,
Lest mercy pierce the fortress of our heart.
O Christ, our Sovereign, veiled in human guise,
Do we but mouth thy name in Sunday’s light,
While justice weeps and compassion dies?
Forgive the throne we build of wrong and spite.
Teach us to serve thee in the least, the low—
For in their wounds, thy kingdom’s crown we know.

In the Grip of Demonic Storms: America’s Lament and the Urgent Call to Embrace Christ, Scripture, and Holy Paths Once More by Debbie Harris

Title: In the Grip of Demonic Storms: America’s Lament and the Urgent Call to Embrace Christ, Scripture, and Holy Paths Once More

Structure: This 26-line poem is divided into 7 stanzas, written in a rhythmic, rhyming ABAB scheme that evokes traditional hymns or patriotic elegies. It builds from lamentation to a climactic call for revival, using vivid imagery of shadows, storms, and spiritual battles.

Overview: The poem is a passionate, faith-driven cry for America’s spiritual renewal amid national grief from a recent act of terror. It portrays the nation as locked in a cosmic struggle against “demonic forces” like Marxism, Communism, Islam, violence, blasphemy, materialism, and moral inversion (Isaiah 5:20’s “calling good evil and evil good”). The speaker urges repentance and a collective return to Jesus Christ, the Bible, and His holy ways, warning that without this, chaos will prevail. It draws on Psalm 33:12 (“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”) to envision a restored “one nation under God.”

Key Themes:

  • Grief and Invasion of Evil: Opens with mourning over senseless violence that has infiltrated the land, symbolized as a “senseless blade” and “unholy whispers.”
  • Spiritual Warfare: Frames current crises as a non-physical battle against ideological and moral darkness, with forces like “Marxism’s iron heel” and “glittering chains” of materialism.
  • Call to Repentance and Hope: Pleads for awakening to Christ’s light and mercy, promising divine inheritance and grace if the nation turns back.
  • Warning and Restoration: Contrasts the peril of chaos with the blessing of biblical fidelity, ending on an urgent, clear imperative to embrace holy paths today.

Overall, it’s a prophetic lament blending patriotism and evangelical fervor, inspired by biblical motifs of judgment and redemption (e.g., 2 Chronicles 7:14), aiming to stir readers toward faith-based national healing.

In shadows deep, a nation bows in grief,
For terror’s senseless blade and gun has pierced the heart,
Evil has slithered through our sacred fields,
Unholy whispers tearing peace apart.

We stand amid a war not forged in steel,
But spirits clashing in the midnight hour—
Demonic tides of Marxism’s iron heel,
Communism’s chains, and Islam’s shadowed power.

Violence roars like tempests unchained,
Blasphemy mocks the throne of Heaven’s King,
Materialism blinds with glittering chains,
And truth is twisted: good they name as sin,
While evil wears a crown of hollow praise.

Oh, America! America, awake!
Turn back, turn back to Jesus Christ, our Light,
The Savior’s cross where mercy’s rivers break,
To wash away the gathering night.

For blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
Whose people He has claimed as heirs divine.
In Christ alone, our banners are unfurled,
One nation under God, in grace we shine.

Choose Him, or chaos claims the fragile throne—
The storm will rage, the foundations crack and fall.
America, arise! Let mercy atone,
And heed the call: turn back to Christ and Bible’s ways, embrace His holy path today.

Jesus Christ, Our Hope Beyond The Veil by Debbie Harris

The poem draws from 2 Corinthians 4:18, emphasizing a Christ-centered focus on eternal realities over fleeting earthly things. It portrays the world’s temporary allure as fragile and fading, contrasting it with the enduring, unseen glory of Jesus Christ. Through vivid imagery, the poem highlights Christ’s eternal kingdom, His sacrificial love, and His unchanging presence as the anchor of faith. It invites believers to fix their gaze on Jesus, the crucified and risen Savior, whose grace and truth shine beyond the temporal veil, offering hope and eternal life.

Beyond the veil of earthly sight,
Where fleeting shadows dim the light,
We fix our gaze on Christ alone,
The King eternal, God’s own Son.

The world’s frail charms, though bright they seem,
Are but a breath, a passing dream.
Its treasures fade, its glories cease,
But Christ endures, our Prince of Peace.

Unseen, yet real, His kingdom stands,
Its truth upheld by nail-scarred hands.
His love, a fire that never wanes,
Outshines the stars, forever reigns.

In Him, the unseen becomes our home,
Through faith we see where angels roam.
No temporal veil can hide His face,
His cross our anchor, His heart our place.

O Christ, our hope, exquisite, true,
Your boundless grace comes shining through.
Eternal Lord, our eyes abide,
On You, the Life, the Crucified.

2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV)

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Just imagine

the Heavenly

splendours we

cannot yet see!
