Our Clay Is Saved

Beneath the clay of our humanity
Is One who to us comes through Virgin Maid
To cloak from all His true divinity
So He from Devil’s wiles can all us save.

For Devil did not recognize God’s Son
Who came as Baby Boy in crib ‘twas laid–
By Devil seen as just another one
Of creatures, soul and body, Father made.

He hates the union who each person is
With heaven, earth joined in each person born,
And Devil wants to sever and make his
Our souls, from bodies be forever torn.

For he wants human bodies finally dead
With our souls ruled from hell by him below,
But Jesus rises from His earthly bed–
Preserves the union of His Body, Soul.

In Him our human nature joined as One
In Person with the nature of God’s Son;
We’ll never in Him ever be undone:
Our soul and body union He has won.
