Blind Willie Johnson - Soul Of A Man

A very profound song - the first and last verses

Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Want somebody tell me, what is the soul of a man
I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can

As far as I can understand, a man is more than his mind
When Christ stood in the temple, the people stood amazed
Was showing the doctors and the lawyers, how to raise a body from the grave

I wrote my own version of this tune. It's one of my favorites (in my top 10). Bind Willie was one of my favorites. I love his voice.
