When was it that the morning stars sang together?
When was it that the sons of God shouted for joy?
Eons ago?
Centuries ago?
Long years past?
In a place distant?
Yes, but also here and now,
In this instant of eternity,
Of eternity in which time has no part,
In this instant in which
Each of us can know,
Can shout with joy,
"I, in my true being,
Am God's own child,
His very likeness here and now,
And eternal life
And health and peace
Are ever mine."
