A Hundred Pounds of Clay

I haven't heard this in so long...

He took a hundred pounds of clay

And then He said, Hey listen
I'm gonna fix this world today
Because I know whats missing
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 cantcha 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

FADE
People, let me tall ya what He did
With just a hundred pounds of clay.
