Freedom from Hereditary Influences

To longing deep and universal --
"If I could just be free!" --
Is this fact comforting and divine
That all can come to see:
Man forever has been in God --
His perfect child, eternally.
For we are not the slaves
Of influences hereditary;
Never under carnal mind curse
For a year, a day, an hour.
These are truths Christ Jesus knew,
And they gave him wondrous power.
This knowledge Science imparts --
Saving knowledge so glorious --
That we're not hemmed in by fleshly starts
But are right now the way He made us.
Fortunate are we that there is revealed
Freeing things that we can claim and see
(Things our Father knows us to be)
That now and through all eternity
We are His loved child, His very own --
Immensely blessed and whole and free.
