Barclay James Harvest - Child of Man Lyrics

Child of God was born today
The child of woman just slipped away
The child of man knelt down to pray
And the children of the earth
Didn't know it was the day of
Creation, creation, creation

One thousand years or maybe more
Since they first set eyes on that foreign shore
The grass was green and the water pure
They turned the key and opened the door
To a nation, nation, nation

Child of God says love your brother
Take him by the hand
Child of God says love your neighbour
Make him understand
Child of God says love your sister
Take her by the hand
Child of God says love your neighbour
Make him understand
Make him understand

All believers gather round
Press your faces to the ground
Lift your voices to the sound
Of all the others who have found
Salvation, salvation, salvation
Salvation, salvation, salvation

Child of God says love your brother
Take him by the hand
Child of God says love your neighbour
Make him understand
Child of God says love your sister
Take her by the hand
Child of God says love your neighbour
Make him understand
Make him understand

Salvation, salvation, salvation
Salvation, salvation, salvation
Salvation, salvation, salvation
Salvation, salvation, salvation
