Clothed in Human flesh

Based on: Romans Chapter one

The very first thing we need to know

If we’re to understand,

Why the God of all creation,

Became a lowly man.

It was God’s sovereignty

For thus He planned it so

To form a man from the dust of earth

For fellowship, you know.

He walked with man in the "cool of the day,"

In a garden that is called Eden

He planted a tree in the midst thereof

And to Adam, it was forbidden.

This thing called sin is now a part

Of the entire human race

It was here, in His sovereignty

In His plan to take our place.

For He loved so much His handywork

Yet sinful though we be

For He knew from all eternity

That He’d die upon a tree.

So He clothed Himself in human flesh

Too "Perfect" His Holy Law

To fulfill its every precept

For we were bound within its jaw.

He freed us from the jawsof sin

He took the sinner’s place

And before the Law-justified

And He gave to us His Grace.

In all the "religions" devised by man

Though noble they may be

They may be right for this old world
