I will build my home
With God as my architect,
Inspiring and directing every decision,
And divine Love as the foundation.
The design is one of everlasting beauty,
With the joy of Spirit
        and the strength of Truth.
Principle guides the construction
And Mind makes every move perfect.
With Soul supplying gratitude,
I deny tribulation
    and move into my Life of joy,
Our spiritual home, where we always dwell.

In this poem, the author includes seven synonymous terms for God as taught in Christian Science: Spirit, Soul, Life, Truth, Love, Mind, and Principle.
