God and man Lyrics by Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

0

(spoken) In the beginning, there was just God, So God made man in his own image... a little image that is
Man asked God, "My God, how great art thou?" And to show man his great power, they played a game
(and then the song....)
God and man played hide-and-go-seek
God told man, "Now man, don't you peek."
Man counted to ten, and then looked around
But God was nowhere, nowhere to be found
Man looked on the mountain. He looked across the sea
He looked in the stars, in the skies, in the trees
He looked in the wind, in the sun, on the ground
But God was nowhere, nowhere to be found
So man made an image and he gave it a name
But this man-made god brought nothing but pain
Man started shouting "God! Where can you be?"
"I'm right here man, inside of thee."
Oh, man was so shocked, he was really surprised
'Cuz he looked everywhere, but right there inside
Now when man found God, man found love
And man found out what we all are made of
God is in you and God is in me
To love all of God is to love humanity
God is in you and God is in me
To love all of God is to love humanity. "
