Who Made The Man - The Staple Singers

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?
