歌词
[Verse 1]
You know, I wrote a song recently, when I was goin' through a hard time
I think everybody, in every generation of man, from time began
Has asked the question, "What is man?"
As a matter of fact, there's a chapter in the Bible
In the eighth chapter of Psalms
That asked that question, "What is man?"
That you're mindful of him
And I wrote that song, it's a brand new song
Haven't, never recorded it
Never have even sung it in public, I wanna do it for you tonight
It's called, "What Is Man"
[Verse 2]
What is man? That you are mindful of him, Lord?
You made the stars, the moon, and sun
And all the worlds that came to be at your command
What is man? What has he done?
[Verse 3]
And you crown him with glory and honor
Gave him dominion over land, and sea, and air
And you store up inheritance in Heaven
What is man? That you should care?
What is man, Lord? That you should care?
[Verse 4]
And you crown him with glory and honor
Gave him dominion over land, and sea, and air
And you store up inheritance in Heaven
What is man? That you should care?
What is man, Lord? That you should care?
[Verse 5]
What is man? That you would let him live at all?
To shed the blood of his own kind
And in his pride goes on his way, deaf to your call
Oh, what is man? Why do you mind?
[Verse 6]
And you crown him with glory and honor
Gave him dominion over land, and sea, and air
And you store up inheritance in Heaven
What is man? That you should care?
(What is man?)
(That you should care)
What is man, Lord? That you should care?
