Johnny Cash What Is Man Lyrics

What Is Man Lyrics

What is man that you are mindful of him Lord

You made the stars, you made the sun

And all the worlds that came to be at your command

What is man? What has he done?



Then you crown him with glory and with honor

Give him dominion over land and sea and air

And store up an inheritance in heaven

Oh what is man that you would care?



What is man that you would let him live at all

To shed the blood of his own kind

And ever fail to even follow where you call

What is man? Why do you mind?



Yet you crown me with glory and with honor

Give me dominion over land and sea and air

And store up my inheritance in heaven

Oh, what is man, that you care?

What is man, Lord, that you would care?
