Lord, You Made Us Human - Dinah Washington, Nat Goodman Orchestra, Dinah Washington, Nat Goodman Orchestra

Lord, you made us human.

I ask you, what a thing to do

with the range of choice you had

when you began your blue!

Lord, you made us human,

so why should I complain?

You gave me a heart, you gave me a soul

and you also gave me a brain.

I’m just one of the millions

helping to destroy

wonders by the billions

you gave to us to enjoy.

Lord, you made us human.

I ask you, what a trick to play

on this lovely world of ours

forever and a day?

But we’re self-forgiving.

We’re unlike bees or bird.

We’re out here sinning for a living.

My God, come down here and help your human herd.

Lord, you made us human.

I ask you sometimes, what a thing to be!

Couldn’t you instead have just made an angel

out of me?
