RICHIE KHARIS

THR MAGNIFICENT CONQUEST

At dawn, in stillness
Something found me

A presence—calm as water
Yet fierce as lightning

Eyes like flames
Form like bronze in fire

Christ—
The Redeemer

His voice thundered through me

And I knew

Darkness walks the earth in hunger
Dressed as desire
Speaking in whispers
Feeding on weakness

But fear not

For who contends with the Lord?

Light to the path
Guardian of the small and the great

Stand firm

For every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess

God reigns above all
