Perfect child of God

Perfect child of God

I am God’s perfect child
No sin, no fault, no stain.
Innocent in every way
I bear my Father’s name.

The so-called mortal past
Can never cling to me.
Spirit-born and Spirit-kept
Eternally I’m free.

My every breath is grace,
My every thought is Thine,
My every action shaped,
Sustained by Love divine.

Each one God’s perfect child
No sin, no guilt, no shame.
Innocent in every way
We bear our Father’s name.
