The truth that we must learn to feel
Is just how deeply Christ is real

This world with its pleasures and pain
Loves to impose on our brain
Illusions of solidity
That overwhelm eternity

The antidote of divine love
Does not merely come from above
But formed the foundations of earth
Before the universe’s birth

The secret to joy that transcends
Is knowing that Christ holds both ends
Our past and our future is blessed
Our present is Him manifest
