Lyrics for A Hundred Pounds of Clay
He took a hundred pounds of clay And they He said "Hey, listen" "I'm gonna fix this-a world today" "Because I know what's missin' " Then He rolled his big sleeves up And a brand-new world began He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did With just a hundred pounds of clay He made my life worth livin' And I will thank Him every day For every kiss you're givin' And I'll thank Him every night For the arms that are holdin' me tight And He did it all with just a hundred pounds of clay Yes he did, whoa-oh, yes He did Now can'tcha just see Him a-walkin' 'round and 'round Pickin' the clay uppa off the ground? Doin' just what He should do To make a livin' dream like you He rolled His big sleeves up And a brand-new world began He created a woman and-a lots of lovin' for a man Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did With just a hundred pounds of clay People, let me tall ya what He did With just a hundred pounds of clay
