The Lord Is On My Head is the first song from a beautiful collection of ancient
anonymous poetry known as the Odes of Solomon. Scholars believe the original
poetry was written in either Syriac, Aramaic, or Greek, and may date as early
as 100 C.E. If so, these texts may represent some of the earliest Christian
worship texts!
The texts resemble the Psalms, though they are distinctly Christian. They share
an affinity with the Gospel of John, thought they do not reference or quote
from the New Testament. Scholarly consensus is that these mysterious Odes
may represent early Baptismal liturgy, because of the frequent imagery of
renewal, rebirth, and water found throughout.
