One sets the Lord before them, ever near,
a constant light that holds through every hour.
No fleeting fear, no gathering doubt appears
where divine presence calms the restless power.

At their right hand the Sovereign stands secure,
an unshakable pillar when foundations sway.
Though tempests rage and shifting seasons scar,
they stand unmoved, held steady in that sway.

What tremor dares assail a soul so stayed?
What shadow falls where heaven’s anchor lies?
Each step they take is firm, each breath arrayed
in quiet strength beneath unchanging skies.

Let empires rise and crumble into dust,
let ages turn and stars forget their name—
through every trial, every trial’s thrust,
their heart remains, forever in His claim.

The world may spin in wild and furious play—
they shall not ever be moved, come what may.

Colossians 2:9-10
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.

This poem joyfully proclaims that every soul finds total completeness, wholeness, and victory in Jesus Christ our Lord. It depicts believers as fully restored and reigning in Him—lacking nothing—resting secure in His perfect fullness, righteousness, and triumph over every obstacle.

The poem is written in a majestic literary style using consistent iambic pentameter and an ABAB rhyme scheme across six quatrain stanzas. Its smooth rhythm, vivid imagery, and rising refrains create a powerful, celebratory flow that feels both elegant and uplifting, matching the triumphant message.

In Jesus Christ our Lord, the soul stands complete,
No fragment missing, no dominion of defeat;
The fullness of the Godhead bodily resides
Within the One through whom all grace abides.
The ransomed rise, made whole by crimson tide,
No longer chained by law or fleshly stride;
In Him they dwell, lacking no gift, no light—
Complete in Christ, the Everlasting Might.

Triumphant anthems thunder from the heights,
Where principalities before Him bow;
The broken find their shattered days made right,
And empty vessels overflow somehow.
No longer tossed on oceans wild and wide,
Nor haunted by the curse that once held sway,
They wear His righteousness, His peace their guide,
His wisdom lighting every shadowed way.

Majestic Victor, Lion and the Lamb,
Whose glory clothes the heavens and the deep,
The faithful rest secure within the I AM,
Co-heirs with Him who woke from death’s cold sleep.
The serpent’s head lies crushed beneath His heel,
Death’s iron gates swing open at His word;
The ransomed throng in robes of glory kneel,
Yet rise to reign with Christ, their risen Lord.

O mystery divine, O boundless grace,
That mortal clay in union should be filled
With heaven’s treasure, sealed in sacred place,
Where every striving soul is stilled and stilled.
No height, no depth, no power, nothing less
Can sever this completeness from their breast;
They lift their voices in triumphant dress—
Complete, complete in Jesus Christ our Lord confessed.

Let galaxies resound, let ages sing,
Let every tongue proclaim the Victor’s fame;
In Him they live, they move, their anthems ring—
Forever whole and holy is His name.
The battle won, the race forever run,
The joy begun that never shall grow dim:
All glory, honor, praise to God the Son—
Complete in Jesus Christ our Lord, in Him, in Him!

Waiting Upon the Triune Throne: Renewal Through Christ Who Strengthens Us by Debbie Harris

After spending time meditating on Isaiah 40:31 and Philippians 4:13, the Lord stirred this poem in my heart. It’s a reflection on waiting upon our Triune God — trusting Him to renew us with strength, talent, and ability for every task He calls us to, all so that His name may be glorified

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

In quiet hush where heaven’s threefold light
Burns pure and whole upon the altar throne,
We wait on God whose presence ends our night—
The Triune One whose strength becomes our own.

The Father speaks and holds the stars in place,
The Spirit breathes as wind and holy Dove,
And Jesus Christ, the Son of matchless grace,
Reveals His scars, the emblem of His love.

Our restless feet once raced through dust and haste,
Disrupting peace with hurried, anxious stride;
Yet here we linger, trusting in His grace—
The threefold cord no power can divide.

We wait on Him, and in that sacred pause,
Christ whispers deep: “Through Me you shall prevail.”
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”—
His risen life becomes our holy sail.

Like cedars rooted by the Father’s streams,
Like vines that cling unto the living Vine,
Like olives kissed by Spirit’s warming beams,
We draw new strength from glory’s vast design.

The desert heart blooms under Jesus’ gaze,
Where Father speaks and order clothes the ground;
The Son declares His victory ablaze,
And Spirit makes the barren places crowned.

In lengthening wait our roots drive deeper still,
Through Christ alone we mount on eagles’ wings;
We run unweary, guided by His will,
And walk the path where resurrection sings.

O soul, be still and know the mystery sweet:
The longer we abide in Christ our Lord,
The more the Triune God makes us complete—
Renewed in Him, by Him, and through His Word.

For Father plans, the Spirit empowers true,
And Jesus Christ supplies the strength we need;
In waiting we are lifted, made anew,
With talent, strength, and ability to succeed.

He is our All—Creator, Savior, Friend—
The Three-in-One whose love will never cease;
In Him our waiting finds its perfect end,
To glorify His name with every strength and gift released.

What Doth The Scripture Say? by Debbie Harris

bible, Biblical Truth, Christian Poetry, christianity, faith, god, Inspirational, jesus

In vaulted halls where marble sages brood,
And laurel crowns lie dust upon the shelf,
Where empires rise and fall in fleeting mood,
And mortal tongues proclaim their gods of self—
One question burns through every age and clime,
More sharp than sword, more bright than morning flame:
“What doth the Scripture say?”—the voice sublime
That silences the world’s vainglorious claim.

Not Plato’s fire, nor Virgil’s measured strain,
Nor Shakespeare’s storm of passion’s wild array,
Can match the quiet thunder of that plain
And ancient Word that stands when all decay.
The philosopher in robes of deepest thought
May weave his subtle webs of “if” and “why,”
Yet when the heart is pierced and conscience caught,
One question still demands the final sigh:

“What doth the Scripture say?”—not “What feels true?”
Not “What the crowd believes” or “What seems right.”
Not custom’s chain, nor fashion’s shifting hue,
Nor reason’s torch that flickers through the night.
For thrones have crumbled, altars turned to ash,
And systems vast have withered like the grass;
But still the living Oracles outlast
The boast of man, the dream that cannot pass.

When sorrow’s night descends with leaden wings,
And hope lies cold upon the silent breast,
When death draws near and every comfort stings,
And all the world’s philosophies confess
Their impotence—one voice alone remains,
Clear as the dawn that breaks the prison bars:
“What doth the Scripture say?”—and there the chains
Fall broken, and the soul beholds the stars.

O seeker, turn from every lesser light,
From wisdom’s wells that ever run but dry,
From oracles of earth that fade by night,
And fix thine eyes upon the Book on high.
Therein alone the eternal Answer lies,
The Rock that mocks the tempests of the years;
Therein the soul, though frail and mortal, spies
The path to life, the end of all her fears.

What doth the Scripture say? Let this one theme
Be all thy study, all thy joy, thy shield.
Let kings and councils rage, let scholars dream—
This single question rules the battlefield.
For heaven and earth shall pass, their glories flee,
But not one jot or tittle shall remove
Till all be fulfilled. O soul, to thee
This is the sum of wisdom, this is love:

“What doth the Scripture say?”—and having heard,
Obey with reverent heart and ready hand;
For in that holy page is life’s true Word,
The only thing that truly matters stand.

Thus ends the boast of ages, thus the strife
Of fleeting schools and transient human lore:
In dust they lie, but Scripture lives—and life
Is found alone in what the Scripture saith evermore.

From the High and Lifted Throne to the Repentant Heart: Hallelujah, What a Savior by Debbie Harris

In Uzziah’s death, when Judah’s sceptre fell,
I saw the Lord upon His throne on high,
Exalted far above where mortals dwell,
His flowing train of glory filled the sky.
The temple glowed with uncreated light,
Where seraphim stood burning, pure and bright.

Six wings each flaming seraph bore in state:
With two he veiled his face from glory’s blaze,
With two he hid his feet in reverent wait,
With two he flew through heaven’s endless maze.
One cried to one in voices like the sea,
“Holy, holy, holy, Lord of Hosts is He!

”Thrice rang the cry through courts of crystal fire,
“Holy!”—each note a sun that pierced the night;
“The whole earth swells with glory’s vast empire,
From ocean deep to mountain’s crown of light.”
The doorposts shook as thunder filled the dome,
And clouds of incense veiled the eternal throne.

When earthly kings to silent dust descend,
The King eternal reigns in robes of flame;
His hem alone makes every realm bend,
And all creation sings His matchless name.

This selfsame Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Desires to dwell within each heart that cries
In true repentance, placing faith in Him—
Hallelujah! What a Savior! Let all praise begin.

Two Versions of a Prayer: From the Heart to the Page by Debbie Harris

bible, Biblical Truth, Christ Centered Devotionals, Christian Poetry, christianity, faith, god, Inspirational, jesus, Royally Redeemed

I wrote this prayer out of a deep desire to acknowledge that all true wisdom comes from the Lord alone. Below are two versions: the original, which came straight from my heart, and a more literary revision that leans into poetic craft while keeping the same spirit of dependence and worship. I’d love to hear which one speaks to you more—and why.


Original Version

Lord, we have no wisdom apart from You,
You are our Wisdom, holy, pure, and true.
We lean not on our own frail understanding,
But on Your Word for life’s sure guiding.

Lord, we have no wisdom apart from You,
Your wisdom full of holiness and life anew—
A river of light that pierces darkest night,
A fountain of grace, our souls’ pure delight.

In every moment, in every choice we face,
We turn from self and seek Your boundless grace.
No fleeting wisdom this vain world can give,
Only Yours, O Lord, in You alone we live.

Lord, we have no wisdom apart from You,
You are our Wisdom, faithful, strong, and true.
Breathe Your holy life into every soul,
And rule forever as our King and Goal.


Literary Revision:

Wisdom Apart Lord, apart from Thee no wisdom dwells in us—
only the brittle reed of mortal guess,
the cracked cisterns of a self that thirsts
yet drinks its shadow dry.

Thou art our Wisdom, holy, honed as blade
that parts the bone from marrow, night from claim;
a vein of light through granite dark, a seam
where grace seeps slow as resin from the wound.

In every fork where choice ignites like tinder,
we turn—half-blinded still—from the quick flare
of worldly coals that warm the hand but char the soul.
No borrowed spark avails; we seek the Source.

Lord, apart from Thee no wisdom holds—
Thou, faithful forge and flame, unyielding true.
Breathe now Thy quickening ash into these lungs,
and rule us, King, until the seeking ends in You.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord (rhymed version) by Debbie Harris

An Original Rhymed Epic Poem
(ABAB rhyme scheme, iambic tetrameter)

In realms where earthly kingdoms fall
And fleeting empires turn to dust,
The Sovereign One reigns over all—
Jesus Christ, the faithful, just.

King of kings and Lord of lords,
Whose name is written high above,
He calms the sea with sovereign words
And reigns in everlasting love.

Whose people fix their gaze upon the Son,
Jesus Christ, by heaven adored,
The Chosen One, the Holy One.
In such a land true justice flows,

Like rivers deep and crystal clear;
Mercy touches suffering’s woes,
And truth dispels all doubt and fear.

From dawn of time when stars sang praise
At the Sovereign One’s command,
Jesus Christ in humble ways
Walked dusty roads across the land.

He touched the leper, gave sight to blind,
Called Lazarus forth from death’s cold tomb;
Upon the cross, with love refined,
He bore the nails, endured the gloom.

Blood and water freely flowed
As darkness veiled the noonday sun;
Yet death itself could not hold
The Prince of Life—the victory won.

The stone was rolled, the tomb stood bare,
Nail-scarred hands now intercede;
The Sovereign One ascended there,
Seated where all angels plead.

Its foundations rest upon the Stone,
The Cornerstone once cast aside;
Its leaders seek the throne of grace alone,
Its families walk in love outpoured and wide.

Its youth stand tall like cedars strong,
Its elders rest beneath almighty wings;
Its streets resound with grateful song
Of freedom born where mercy sings.

The Sovereign One extends scarred hands
And gently calls the weary soul:
“Come unto Me, in My command
Find rest that makes the broken whole.”

In answer, chains of sin release,
Freedom blooms in holy light;
The stranger finds a place of peace,
The hungry eat, the naked clothed aright.

When final trumpet shakes the sky
And clouds reveal the King of kings,
With eyes like flame and robe dipped high,
The Sovereign One His glory brings.

The holy city then descends,
Where no more tears or darkness fall;
The river of life forever bends,
And Christ, the Sovereign One, is all.

Let every heart across the land
Give heed to this eternal call:
True greatness lies not in fame or gold,
But humble trust in Christ alone,

That every tribe and tongue may hold
Communion with the Sovereign One.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord (blank verse) by Debbie Harris

Christ Centered Devotionals, Christian Poetry, christianity, Inspirational, Royally Redeemed, theology

In boundless realms where fleeting empires rise and crumble into dust,
The Sovereign One reigns eternal, high above all thrones and powers.
Jesus Christ, the Living Word who spoke light into the formless void,
King of kings and Lord of lords, whose name is written on the robe and thigh,
Holds the scepter of perfect righteousness and boundless grace.

No mortal crown, no iron fist, no glittering hoard of gold
Can rival this divine authority that calms the storm with a whisper
And causes the dead to stand at the sound of His voice.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
Whose people fix their gaze upon the Sovereign One,
Jesus Christ, exalted above every name in heaven and on earth.

In such a land, justice flows like a mighty river clear and deep,
Mercy touches the hem of the garment of the suffering and the outcast,
And truth shines as a beacon brighter than the noonday sun.
The Sovereign One watches over the humble with eyes that see every tear,
Lifts the weary soul from dust, and defends the fatherless and widow,
Writing upon the heart of a people an inheritance of unshakable peace.

From the dawn of creation, when stars sang at the Sovereign One’s command,
Jesus Christ stepped into time, born in a lowly stable yet wrapped in glory.
He walked dusty roads, touched lepers with hands of compassion,
Healed the blind with mud and spit, and called forth Lazarus from the tomb.
Upon a cruel cross, the Sovereign One bore the nails that pierced His hands and feet,
Blood and water flowing as the sun hid its face in darkness.

Yet death could not hold the Prince of Life—the stone was rolled away,
The empty tomb stood silent witness to victory over the grave.
Rising in power on the third morning, the Sovereign One ascended,
Seated now at the right hand of the Father, interceding with nail-scarred hands.
Angels veil their faces; elders cast their crowns before the throne.

Every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth shall one day bow,
Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Father’s glory.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
For in the Sovereign One alone does true flourishing take root.
Its foundations rest not on shifting sands of human schemes,
But on the Rock of Ages, the Cornerstone rejected yet chosen.

Its leaders kneel for wisdom before the throne of grace,
Its families reflect the steadfast love that flowed from Calvary’s hill,
Its streets echo with songs of redemption and awe-filled praise.
No tempest of adversity can uproot what the Sovereign One upholds,
No shadow of darkness can quench the light that streams from the empty tomb,
For blessing descends like morning dew upon the nation that honors Him.

The Sovereign One, Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords,
Extends hands still bearing the prints of the nails and speaks with gentle authority:
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
In answer, the nation that chooses this sovereign grace discovers freedom profound—
Freedom from sin’s iron chains, freedom to walk in holy, joyful purpose,
Freedom to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and welcome the stranger as kin.

Here the young grow strong like cedars planted by streams of living water,
The elders find rest beneath wings that shelter like the shadow of the Almighty,
And the whole people become a city set on a hill, reflecting the Sovereign One’s light.

When the final trumpet sounds and the Sovereign One returns in clouds of glory,
With eyes like flame and a robe dipped in blood, riding the white horse of conquest,
The nations shall stand before the throne where books are opened wide.
Yet for the people who have made the Sovereign One their God,
There awaits a new creation: the holy city descending, where no night falls,
No tear is shed, and the river of life flows crystal clear from the throne.

The tree of life bears fruit in every season; the curse is lifted forever.
Tyrants bow low, idols crumble into dust, and Jesus Christ reigns visibly,
King of kings, Lord of lords, making all things new.

Let every heart across every land give heed to this eternal declaration:
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
For its God is Jesus Christ, the Sovereign One,
Whose pierced hands redeem, whose justice perfects every wrong,
Whose presence transforms the wilderness into a garden,
And whose reign brings life abundant, now and for all eternity.

In this divine reality, true greatness is not measured by armies or treasuries,
But by humble, joyful allegiance to the One who gave Himself completely
That every nation, tribe, and tongue might taste the greatest blessing—
Communion with the Sovereign One, forever and ever.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

A Victorious Hymn: Be Not Ashamed – Live Boldly, Share the Glorious Gospel That Defeats Satan and Saves Souls by Debbie Harris

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

O believer, rise! Let silence flee away,
The chains of fear dissolve in holy fire!
The One who bled upon the cursed tree
Now lives in thee with resurrection power.

He died for thee—thy ransom fully paid,
He loves thee deep, with everlasting love;
He delights o’er thee with singing, joy arrayed—
The Mighty One who saves, as prophets prove.

Like Zephaniah’s song of tender grace,
He quiets thee with love and sings aloud;
The Father’s heart exults in warm embrace,
Rejoicing o’er His child with joyful cloud.

Each time the glorious Gospel thou dost share,
The hosts of hell in terror shriek and flee;
Satan’s dark throne trembles in despair,
His demons routed by truth’s victory!

Be bold, O saint! Live out the Gospel bright,
In joyous triumph, fearless, unafraid;
Walk in the light of Christ’s eternal might,
And let His Word through every deed be displayed.

Proclaim the gift of salvation, free and true,
By grace through faith, not works that man has wrought;
For faith arises when the Word breaks through—
By hearing, hearing comes the truth Christ taught.

“I am not ashamed!”—let this thy motto ring,
Through crowded streets and quiet corners too;
The power of God for salvation it doth bring
To Jew and Gentile, old and young anew.

With holy boldness speak with authority:
“The Bible says!”—thus declare the sacred line;
Not soft tolerance that blinds the eye to see,
But truth that reproves all evil, stern and fine.

Call sin by name, and warn of hell’s dark gate,
Lest souls in slumber drift to endless night;
Yet offer hope—Christ saves from sin and wrath,
Turning the lost to everlasting light.

Boldly carry thy Bible—His living voice,
His sacred instructions, lamp unto thy feet;
In it He speaks, and bids thy heart rejoice,
Guiding thy steps till heaven’s joy complete.

O Church, awake! Proclaim the Savior’s name,
Transforming lives with news of grace divine;
In every tongue, in every land the same,
The Gospel triumphs—Satan’s kingdom declines!

Live victoriously, with banners high unfurled,
For Christ hath conquered, and in Him we stand;
Share boldly, love deeply, shine as lights in the world—
The darkness flees before the risen Lamb! Hallelujah!

The victory is won,
Through thee, dear believer, God’s kingdom comes.
Press on with joy till every battle’s done—
The King has come to offer salvation to all!

This is the glorious, transformative, victorious, triumphant good news:
Jesus saves!

When Hissing Tongues Swirl by Debbie Harris

When hissing tongues in venom swirl and sting,
And sland’rous words like serpents twist the air,
May we be those esteeming others higher than ourselves,
And count each neighbor worthier than our care.

Not born of pride or selfish vain conceit,
Nor forged in hollow show for mortal eyes,
But in true lowliness, where grace is sweet,
We lift the least and silence our own cries.

Let swirling gales of spite their fury spend,
And tempests rage where envy loves to dwell;
We stand unmoved, as lights that heaven send,
Where meekness reigns and pride is cast away.
