God Takes Our Nature

His Love for me brought low his greatness.

He made himself like me so that I might receive him.

He made himself like me so that I might be clothed in him.

I had no fear when I saw him,

For he is mercy for me.

He took my nature so that I might understand him,

My face so that I should not turn away from him.


Odes of Solomon 7 (The Odes and Psalms of Solomon
