Exchanging Glory for Dust: Humanity’s Descent in Pride by Debbie Harris

Summary of the Poem “Exchanging Glory for Dust: Humanity’s Descent in Pride”

The poem, inspired by Romans 1:18-25, explores the theological themes of God’s revelation through creation, humanity’s rejection of divine truth, and the resulting descent into idolatry and moral corruption. It reflects the passage’s message that God’s “eternal power and divine nature” are evident in creation (Romans 1:20), leaving humanity without excuse for denying Him. The poem portrays how people, despite knowing God, fail to glorify or thank Him (Romans 1:21), leading to futile thinking and darkened hearts. They exchange God’s glory for idols resembling “mortal human beings and birds and animals and reptiles” (Romans 1:23), choosing lies over truth (Romans 1:25). As a consequence, God gives them over to their sinful desires (Romans 1:24), resulting in spiritual and moral degradation. The poem concludes with a hopeful note, affirming the Creator’s enduring glory and love, urging a return to Him, who is “forever praised” (Romans 1:25).

The poem uses vivid imagery of nature—stars, mountains, rivers, and sun—to illustrate God’s clear revelation (Romans 1:19-20), while depicting humanity’s prideful rebellion and idolatry as a tragic fall from divine truth. It emphasizes the futility of human wisdom apart from God (Romans 1:22) and the justice of God’s response, yet ends with a call to rediscover His light and love.

Beneath the vault of heaven’s dome,
Where stars in silent chorus roam,
God’s truth is etched in every sphere,
His power sings, eternal, clear.
The mountains rise, the rivers run,
The dawn submits to blazing sun—
No voice is needed, yet they cry,
“Behold the Maker, lifted high!”

His unseen hand, His boundless might,
In woven worlds of day and night,
Declares a truth no heart denies,
Though clouded minds may close their eyes.
For what is known, God made it plain,
In whispering winds, in falling rain,
So none may stand with empty plea,
Excuseless in eternity.

Yet still the heart of man rebels,
And builds its towers, crafts its spells.
They knew the Lord, His glory grand,
Yet spurned the touch of His command.
Ungrateful, they refused His name,
No thanks arose, no praise they came.
Their thoughts grew vain, their wisdom dim,
Their souls estranged, adrift from Him.

In boasted pride, they claimed to know,
Yet sank where foolish rivers flow.
The immortal One, whose glory gleams,
Was traded for their hollow dreams.
They carved their gods from wood and stone,
Gave breath to beasts, to forms alone,
And bowed to idols, frail and small,
Forgetting Him who made them all.

So God, in justice, stepped aside,
Let loose the reins of human pride.
Their hearts, now chained to lust’s deceit,
Degraded flesh in base defeat.
The truth they knew, they cast away,
Embraced the lie, and there they stay—
Adoring what their hands have made,
While glory fades in twilight’s shade.

But still the Creator’s name endures,
His endless praise forever sure.
Though man may wander, lost, astray,
His light remains to guide the way.
O heart, return, and see the One,
Whose love outshines the rising sun!
For He, immortal, reigns above,
Forever praised, forever love.

The hymn Thou Art Worthy, O Lord, inspired by Revelation 4:11, is a six-verse worship song with a repeating refrain, designed for congregational singing in a traditional style (suitable for a tune like Ode to Joy). It exalts God’s worthiness, glory, and creative power, reflecting the verse’s themes of divine honor and creation’s purpose. Each verse emphasizes God’s sovereignty, the worship of angels and creation, and His merciful, eternal reign. The refrain reinforces the central message: “Worthy, worthy, God Almighty, Honor, glory, power to Thee! All creation lifts its anthem, Praising Thee eternally.” The hymn blends biblical imagery with calls to worship, uniting heaven and earth in praise of God’s majesty.

Verse 1
Thou art worthy, Lord most holy,
Glory, honor, power are Thine.
All creation bows before Thee,
Crafted by Thy hand divine.
Heavens sing Thy endless praises,
Earth and sky Thy will proclaim.
For Thy pleasure all was fashioned,
Worthy is Thy holy name.

Refrain
Worthy, worthy, God Almighty,
Honor, glory, power to Thee!
All creation lifts its anthem,
Praising Thee eternally.

Verse 2
From Thy throne the seraphs worship,
Casting crowns before Thy seat.
Day and night they cry, “Most holy,”
Thy great majesty complete.
Every star and every mountain,
Every soul Thy voice has stirred,
Sings the song of Thy great glory,
Holy is our sovereign Lord.

Refrain
Worthy, worthy, God Almighty,
Honor, glory, power to Thee!
All creation lifts its anthem,
Praising Thee eternally.

Verse 3
By Thy will all things exist, Lord,
Formed to show Thy boundless might.
In Thy love, the world was founded,
In Thy wisdom, day and night.
Let our hearts join heaven’s chorus,
Let our lives Thy truth confess,
Thou art worthy, now and ever,
God of grace and righteousness.

Refrain
Worthy, worthy, God Almighty,
Honor, glory, power to Thee!
All creation lifts its anthem,
Praising Thee eternally.

Verse 4
King of glory, reigning ever,
Thou dost hold all things in sway.
Galaxies and oceans tremble,
At Thy voice they all obey.
From Thy heart flows boundless mercy,
Grace that lifts the soul to Thee.
All Thy works declare Thy splendor,
Worthy of eternity.

Refrain
Worthy, worthy, God Almighty,
Honor, glory, power to Thee!
All creation lifts its anthem,
Praising Thee eternally.

Verse 5
In Thy presence, angels gather,
Singing hymns of endless light.
Elders bow and cast their crowns down,
Hailing Thee with holy might.
Every creature, great and humble,
Joins the chorus of the skies,
Thou art worthy, Lord forever,
Let Thy praise forever rise.

Refrain
Worthy, worthy, God Almighty,
Honor, glory, power to Thee!
All creation lifts its anthem,
Praising Thee eternally.

Verse 6
God of all, Thy throne eternal,
Shines with splendor none can see.
By Thy word the heavens sparkled,
By Thy will they came to be.
We, Thy children, lift our voices,
Bound by love, in awe we stand,
Singing worthy is the Savior,
Ruler of the sea and land.

Refrain
Worthy, worthy, God Almighty,
Honor, glory, power to Thee!
All creation lifts its anthem,
Praising Thee eternally.

The poem, inspired by Colossians 1:17-23, is a triumphant, image-rich celebration of Christ’s supremacy, sacrificial victory, and reconciling work. It portrays Christ as the preeminent Lord who created and sustains all things—mountains, oceans, stars—ruling with sovereign might. He descends to the cross, where His blood defeats sin and death, transforming the cross into a throne of triumph. Once estranged, humanity is redeemed through His sacrifice, made blameless before God. The gospel spreads like a roaring flame across the earth, proclaiming His victory. The poem closes with a jubilant call to worship Christ, the everlasting King, whose reign and redemption are eternal. The tone is bold and victorious, using vivid, concrete imagery (e.g., thundering oceans, blazing mercy) to evoke awe, for a grounded, biblical feel.

Before the heavens stretched their frame,
Before the dawn spoke forth His name,
Christ stood, the Lord, the mighty One,
Who forged the stars, who lit the sun.
Mountains rise at His decree,
Oceans thunder, wild and free.
All things in Him find strength to stand,
Held fast within His sovereign hand.

He reigns as First, o’er life and death,
The source of every living breath.
In Him, God’s fullness dwells and shines,
His glory breaks through mortal lines.
Angels kneel where anthems soar,
Proclaiming Him forevermore.
From earth’s deep roots to heaven’s height,
He rules with uncreated might.

Yet see the King descend to save,
To storm the darkness of the grave.
On that grim cross, where blood was spilled,
Where wrath and love in battle thrilled,
His sacrifice tore down the wall,
Restoring life to Adam’s fall.
The wood, a throne of triumph high,
Defies the serpent’s ancient lie.

Once we were lost, rebels astray,
Our hearts in chains, our skies turned gray.
But Christ, the Victor, broke our night,
His mercy blazed with holy light.
His blood has washed our guilt away,
And bids us stand in endless day.
Redeemed, we rise, made pure, made whole,
Blameless before His glorious soul.

The gospel roars like lion’s might,
Its truth a flame that splits the night.
From village dust to city gates,
Its hope in every heart awaits.
No tongue, no land, can silence this,
The story of redeeming bliss.
Through all the earth, His name resounds,
A victory song that shakes the grounds.

O risen Lord, forever reign!
Your throne above all powers remain.
The cross has crushed the foe’s design,
Your blood has made the nations Thine.
We lift our voice, we bow, we sing,
All hail the everlasting King!

Divine Mercy Unbound: A Poetic Meditation on Romans 11:6 and the Triumph of Grace Over Works by Debbie Harris

Based on Romans 11:6 (KJV): And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

The sonnet, inspired by Romans 11:6, explores the concept of divine grace as a free gift from God, unearned by human works. It emphasizes that salvation comes through faith alone, not through human effort or adherence to the law, which cannot overcome sin. The poem highlights God’s mercy, the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice, and the futility of boasting in personal deeds. It concludes by urging reliance on grace, with glory given solely to Christ.

If grace be grace, it comes not by our deed,
For works would bind what freely God bestows.
His mercy flows where human efforts cede,
A gift divine no labor can compose.
No boast of man can claim salvation’s crown,
Nor hands of flesh weave righteousness to wear.
By faith alone His favor doth abound,
A love unearned, yet boundless in its care.
The law’s demand, though just, could ne’er suffice,
For sin’s deep stain no mortal toil can clear.
But God’s elect, through grace, receive the price,
His Son’s own blood, to draw the chosen near.
So let us rest in grace, and works forsake,
For Christ’s alone the glory we partake.

The poem, titled Crowned in Glory: The Bible’s Bejeweled Treasury for the Redeemed, celebrates the Bible as a divine treasury for those redeemed in Christ. Using vivid gemstone imagery, it portrays Scripture as a collection of precious jewels, each symbolizing a spiritual truth: rubies for the redeeming blood of grace, emeralds for eternal hope, sapphires for wisdom, diamonds for the enduring strength of God’s Word, and amethysts for the royal glory of the redeemed. The poem emphasizes the Bible’s unassailable wealth, its role as a guiding light, and the exalted status of the redeemed, crowned by divine love.

In Christ, the royally redeemed we stand,
Our Bible, a treasury blessed in hand.
A radiant vault where gemstones gleam,
Each verse a jewel, each truth a dream.

Like rubies bold, the blood of grace,
Pours from the cross, our hiding place.
Its crimson fire lights up the soul,
Redeeming love that makes us whole.

The emerald shines, eternal spring,
Of promises kept, of life to bring.
In pages green, God’s mercy grows,
A verdant hope that ever flows.

Sapphires deep, of wisdom’s hue,
Reflect the truths that guide us through.
Their starry blaze in Scripture’s night,
Illumes our path with holy light.

The diamond, pure, unyielding, bright,
God’s Word endures, our steadfast might.
No storm can crack its sacred core,
Its strength our shield forevermore.

And amethyst, with royal glow,
Adorns the redeemed, His grace to show.
In purple splendor, we are crowned,
By love divine, in glory bound.

This treasury, no thief can claim,
Its gems outshine all earthly fame.
For royally redeemed we sing,
The Bible’s wealth, our endless spring.

Exalted by Grace: The Redeemed, Born-Again Rise in Christ’s Victory by Debbie Harris

The poem, titled “Exalted by Grace: The Redeemed, Born-Again Rise in Christ’s Victory”, is a triumphant celebration of the hope and victory found by the redeemed and born-again when they feel insignificant or dismissed by worldly powers. Written in the third person with gender-neutral language, it portrays “they” (the redeemed, born-again) as overcoming scorn and rejection through the grace and love of Jesus, the eternal King. The poem emphasizes their radiant worth, unshaken hope, and exalted status in Christ’s victory over death, which redeems and renews them. Inspired by John 18:36-37, it underscores Jesus’ divine kingdom and purpose, affirming that His sacrifice gives eternal value to every soul, far beyond human recognition.

Bible Reference: John 18:36-37 (ESV)

36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

Connection to the Poem

The poem draws directly from John 18:36 (“My kingdom is not of this world”) to highlight Jesus’ transcendent kingship, which surpasses the earthly powers that may reject or devalue individuals. The passage’s focus on Christ’s purpose—bearing witness to the truth and calling those who hear Him—mirrors the poem’s depiction of the redeemed, born-again finding their identity, worth, and victory in His love and sacrifice, independent of worldly validation.

Though shadows loom and voices scorn,
When earthly powers cast them aside,
They rise with eyes to glory born—
The King of Kings exalts their stride.

No mortal crown can dim their light,
No fleeting slight can break their soul.
In Christ’s great love, they shine so bright,
His victory makes them whole.

“My kingdom is not of this world,” He spoke,
Yet for this world, He conquered death.
Each soul He claims, each chain He broke,
In His embrace, they find their breath.

No longer lost, unseen, or small,
They stand where earthly rulers fade.
The eternal King has crowned them all,
Their hope in Jesus never sways.

The sonnet, titled “I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: A Sonnet of Cross-Centered Triumph”, is inspired by Romans 1:16 and celebrates the unashamed proclamation of the gospel, emphasizing the cross of Jesus Christ as the source of salvation and glory. It boasts in the cross’s power to save, highlighting the union of God’s love and justice in Christ’s sacrificial death. The gospel is portrayed as a transformative force that opens eyes, offers hope, and justifies believers through faith. Rejecting worldly gains, the sonnet exalts Christ’s name and the cross as the eternal anchor of hope and glory, urging bold and joyful preaching of this truth.

In Christ’s great cross, our boast shall ever rise,
No shame in gospel truth, for it is power (Romans 1:16)
To save the soul, to open blinded eyes,
And bloom salvation’s hope in darkest hour.
The cross, where love and justice met as one,
Where Christ, the Lamb, for sinners freely died,
Proclaims God’s grace to all beneath the sun,
His righteousness through faith now justified.
No worldly gain compares to this great prize,
No fleeting boast can match the Savior’s name.
In Him alone our hearts and hopes abide,
His cross our glory, never to disclaim.
So let us boldly preach, with joy profess,
The cross of Christ, our anthem to express!

The sonnet based on Isaiah 1:18 reflects God’s invitation to reason and seek forgiveness. It portrays sin as scarlet and crimson stains that God promises to cleanse, making the soul pure and white as snow. The poem emphasizes divine mercy, the transformative power of grace, and the call to turn from darkness to God’s light through repentance and faith.

“Come now, let us reason,” speaks the Lord,
His voice a balm to hearts in sin’s embrace.
Though scarlet stains your soul, His sacred word
Proclaims a path to purity and grace.
Your crimson guilt, like blood upon the snow,
He offers to make white as winter’s gleam.
Through mercy’s might, His love shall overflow,
And wash away the shadows of your dream.
No deed too dark, no fault beyond His reach,
His reasoned call invites the soul to turn.
In humble steps, His righteousness beseech,
And find the fire of His compassion burn.
O hear His plea, let reason guide your way,
For grace transforms the night to endless day.
