Child of Mine

Caroline Martin

This poem was originally written as a solo for singing in Christian Science branch churches.
The audio version is sung by Caroline Martin.

I have loved you
Beyond all time
Before there was morning
Before the stars did shine
Before there were valleys
Or mountains to climb
I have loved you
Precious child of Mine

I am closer than your breathing
I know each step you take
I am with you while you’re sleeping
Beside you when you wake

And I will love you
Eternally
Wider than the world around
Deeper than the sea
Past the horizon
Above heaven’s design
I will love you
Precious child of Mine

—Caroline Martin
