Beata Agustin Poet Rhyme

Soli Deo Gloria - Inspired

“Soli Deo Gloria*” --- we testify
God Almighty our praises magnify
Midst His mercy and truth that sanctify
Since He by His pardon does purify.  

“Glory to God** alone” is our faith’s goal
In ministering with servanthood role
Fulfilling the best along kindness’ pole
Helping build lives, or making someone whole.

God deserves glory for our gratefulness 
Thanking His compassionate graciousness
Granting our souls salvation-completeness
Assuring eternal life’s blissfulness.

For the Lord’s glory, we exalt His name
Majestic midst love’s omnipotent fame
Vanquishing hatred of deceitful game
Surmounting selfishness with pride-propped claim.

Giving Christ the glory along trust-flight
Pleases Him in our triumphant delight
Winning bravely over temptation’s fight
Clinging firmly to His mercy and might.

*“Soli Deo gloria” is a Latin term for “Glory to God alone.”
**Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

John Watt February 17, 2022 at 3:30 PM Beata, it was a pleasure to read this poetic statement of faith and description of "Soli Deo Gloria". It is said that JS Bach wrote SDG on every piece of music he composed to remind himself and others that the glory for his creation was due to God alone. Thank you for sharing and congrats for your win! Grace and peace ~ John Beata Agustin February 18, 2022 at 12:04 AM Thanks... Indeed, it is by God's grace, that we can express "Soli Deo Gloria" as He deserves it. God bless you.
