To longing deep and universal -
"If I could just be free!" --
Is this fact divine and comforting
That all can come to see:
We are and ever have been in God,
His spiritual, perfect child, eternally.
For we are not helpless before circumstances
Have not been under carnal mind's curse
For a year, a day, an hour.
These are truths Christ Jesus knew,
And they gave Him wondrous healing power.
This knowledge Christian Science imparts,
Saving knowledge so glorious,
That we're not hemmed in by flesh and blood,
But are right now the way God made us.
Fortunate that there is revealed,
Freeing things that we can claim and see.
(Things about us God has ever known)
That now and through all eternity
We are His loved child, His very own --
Immensely blessed and whole and free.
