Man Like Him

“He was made like his brothers

in every way.”

With awe and joy I read.

My humble yet exalted priest

Who, every day,

Hears me as I plead.

Then thought of “Lamb slain

before earth's foundation,”

Brings pause over Holy Writ.

Another shining facet

Of salvation

Warms this heart further yet.

“Not only was the Lord

Made like me

Except without sin," I ponder.

“We were first formed as the man

He would be.”

A wonder upon a wonder!

So true God-Man, seated

at the right,

with love that will never dim,

Meets with pity believers

He became like,

So they can be man like Him.
