A Hundred Pounds Of Clay
Gene McDaniels 1961
Written by Bob Elgin, Luther Dixon, and Kay Roger


He took a hundred pounds of clay
And then He said, "Hey listen
I'm gonna fix this 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 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't you just see Him a-walkin' 'round and 'round
Pickin' clay up 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 lots of lovin' for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did
With just a hundred pounds of clay

People, let me tell you what He did
With just a hundred pounds of clay
