Lyrics Who Made The Man - The Staple Singers

Who Made The Man

Children, our subject for the day is material things
Such as boats, cars, planes and trains
All of these things were made by the hands of man
To help us get over this great big land of ours
But sometimes we overlook the power within
Preaches the almighty God
Without Him, material things we would never seen, y’all
And I think we should sing about that
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmmm
Who made the man?
(Yeah)
He did
Who made the woman, now?
He did
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you (Me and you)
To give a little credit where credit is due?
Who made the man?
(Yeah)
He did (He did)
Who made the woman, now?
(Oh, yeah)
He did (He did)
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you
To give a little credit where credit is due?
But, next is power
Which will swallow us up in less than an hour
We have doctors, lawyers and indian chiefs
Governnment and politicians that can’t be beat
And even so these greats sometimes
Let power overtake their mind
They even forget about the Almighty, the real power
That kept them runnin' this great country of ours
The Almighty is the power and the Glory, y’all
I think we should sing about that again
Who made the man?
(Yeah)
He did
Who made the woman, now?
He did (Oh yeah)
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you (About time)
To give a little credit where credit is due?
Who made the man?
(Oh)
He did
Who made the woman, now?
(Yeah)
He did
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you (Me and you)
To give a little credit where credit is due?
Who hung the sun up?
Who hung the moon?
Who hung the stars in the sky?
(Oh, yeah)
He did
Who made the man?
(He made the man)
He did
Who made the woman, now?
(He made woman)
He did
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you (He made the land,
He made the sand, before anybody asked)
To give a little credit where credit is due?
Who made the man?
He did
Who made the woman, now?
He did
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you
To give a little credit where credit is due?
Who made the man?
He did
Who made the woman, now?
He did
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you
To give a little credit where credit is due?
Who made the man?
He did
Who made the woman, now?
He did
Don’t you think it’s about time for me and you
To give a little credit where credit is due?
