Christ Science

O Christ, You are the specimen of my study,
the greatest subject to observe of all,
I gaze upon Your body broken, bloody,
and read Your message there and hear Your call.

Your death, Your words, Your life--my laboratory--
make up my natural experiments,
I witness, read and try to live Your story,
my supernatural experience.

I put our souls into my centrifuge,
what is the residue after the spin?
Results of my analysis are huge--
what’s left is love, once separate from my sin.

O Christ, my scientific search for You
confirms for me my faith and Church are true.
