Child of the great I am

God is the great I am .
Not would be—could be—should be.
God is the great I am .

And I'm child of that great I am .
Not would be ... if
or could be ... as
or should be . . . when.
Now I'm child of the great I am .

No shades of self-derision,
No maze of guilt can stand—
As I wake from the dream called imperfect man
To walk as the child of the great I am .
