MAN HAS MADE NO MISTAKE
PETER J. HENNIKER HEATON
From the December 1946 issue of The Christian Science Journal
"Why did I do it?" Still the cry is heard
from grieving human hearts around the earth,
and back in answer comes the healing word,
"Man has made no mistake; man has not fallen."
from grieving human hearts around the earth,
and back in answer comes the healing word,
"Man has made no mistake; man has not fallen."
This is the healing, scientific fact:
that God created man for His delight,
to show His glory forth in word and act
from everlasting unto everlasting.
that God created man for His delight,
to show His glory forth in word and act
from everlasting unto everlasting.
This is the truth: that man can never fall,
nor by the slightest deviation err.
Man never strays, for God is All-in-all;
the prince of this world comes and can find nothing.
nor by the slightest deviation err.
Man never strays, for God is All-in-all;
the prince of this world comes and can find nothing.
The false, material, fallen sense of man,
outfaced by Truth, withdraws; it never was.
There is no place for evil in God's plan;
God's universe, like God, must be unerring.

"Why did I do it?" Let this cry now cease.
Man has made no mistake, nor ever erred;
he walks with God in paths of joy and peace.
All that we long for even now is present.
