The Lord thought he’d make a man
He wasn’t thinking about me
And when he saw what he had done
Said “You shall abide or live in misery.
Either way you will be tried
By a jury of your fears
Who will sentence you to labor
Under a vale of tears.”
There’s no shortage of pretenders
But there’s no one like the Lord
When I rose up from the dust
I was cast into the sea
There a beast in the dark water
Came and swallowed me
Like Job I am bewildered
Like Jonah I’m deceived
Is not a witness up in heaven
Who will testify for me?
Man ain’t nothing but a dream
He withers like the grass
You may sever both his heels
But his pride will never pass
He was made to be elastic
To bend any which way
The universe is blowing
On this or any day
The planets have no power
A string of pearls up in the sky
If we’re to make it through the night
There’ll have to be a sacrifice
Say hello to little Jesus
Won’t you kiss him once for me?
Before he’s dropped into the fire
To dance his destiny
The Lord ain’t nothing but a man
Wanting to be kissed
Afraid there’s something out there
That’s bigger than his wish
Many fears are born of loneliness
And from this he can’t escape
Like the silence in a bedroom
That keeps a poor boy awake
There’s no shortage of pretenders
But there’s no one like the Lord
