THE KINGDOM WITHIN

Peter J. Henniker Heaton

God's law is written in our inward parts;
in the deep places of the earth it rules.
It governs and controls our secret hearts;
our pure desires it kindles and fulfills.

God's law is written in our inward parts,
maintaining order, harmony, and ease,
rejecting evidence of material hurts
and false, material, so-called sciences.

God's law is written in our inward parts,
stirs healthy hunger for all wholesome things,
eliminates whatever broods or smarts,
quenches our thirst from Love's pure healing springs.

God's law is written in our inward parts;
we have no mortal heritage of pain.
We are the heirs of God, whose law asserts
only His perfect kingdom is within.

God's law is written in our inward parts;
and as this truth we steadfastly maintain,
it stills the lying evidence that distorts,
and lawful peace and bliss within us reign.

Peter J. Henniker Heaton
