1  O praise the Lord, God has a plan —

    That's why He formed a man;

    To exercise authority,

    Subdue the earth entirely.

    O what a joy to be

    In His recovery,

    O praise God He made me a V.I.P.

 2  O hallelujah, Christ became

    A man to die for me.

    And dying once my life to be,

    In spirit now He lives in me.

    The man supreme is He,

    My all He came to be;

    O hallelujah, He lives in me!

 3  O hallelujah, I'm a man,

    The center of God's plan.

    I'm God's own image made to be,

    Expressing His authority.

    It's great to be a man,

    O praise God, I'm a man,

    O hallelujah, I am a man!

 4  O hallelujah, one new man,

    The building of God's plan!

    God's plan throughout eternity —

    Not man, but men built corporately.

    This man cannot be beat,

    All things beneath his feet,

    Christ and the church one man complete.
