There's a Man in Here
Statler Brothers · Holy Bible/Old & New Testaments [Mercury] [1979]
(Harold Reid)
There's a man in here who turns water to wine
And he walked on the water and gives sight to the blind
And he gives back life to the ones that's dead
And he fed four thousand with seven loaves of bread.
There's a man in here who makes demons flee
Who makes cripples walk and he's chosen even me
For he lives in my heart and I'll have no fear
I'm a better man 'cause there's a man in here.
There's man in here that I'm looking for
Cries a man who could find no room at the door
So they lowered him down on a stretcher bed
And Jesus looked at him and said.
All your sins are all now gone this day
Take up your bed and go your way
And as he walked through the crowed they heard him declare
I can tell you all there's a man in there.
There's a man in here the Deciples cried
When the ship was tossed from side to side
So they woke him up as the waves blew high
And said don't you care that we're about to die.
And he said peace be still and when the wind had laid
He said where's your faith why were you so afraid
And when they saw that the sea was smooth and clear
They said thank you God that the man's in here.
There's a man in here who turns water to wine
And he walked on the water and gives sight to the blind
And he gives back life to the ones that's dead
And he fed four thousand with seven loaves of bread.
There's a man in here who makes demons flee
Who makes cripples walk and he's chosen even me
For he lives in my heart and I'll have no fear
I'm a better man 'cause there's a man in here.
I'm a better man 'cause there's a man in here...
There's a man in here who turns water to wine
And he walked on the water and gives sight to the blind
And he gives back life to the ones that's dead
And he fed four thousand with seven loaves of bread.
There's a man in here who makes demons flee
Who makes cripples walk and he's chosen even me
For he lives in my heart and I'll have no fear
I'm a better man 'cause there's a man in here.
There's man in here that I'm looking for
Cries a man who could find no room at the door
So they lowered him down on a stretcher bed
And Jesus looked at him and said.
All your sins are all now gone this day
Take up your bed and go your way
And as he walked through the crowed they heard him declare
I can tell you all there's a man in there.
There's a man in here the Deciples cried
When the ship was tossed from side to side
So they woke him up as the waves blew high
And said don't you care that we're about to die.
And he said peace be still and when the wind had laid
He said where's your faith why were you so afraid
And when they saw that the sea was smooth and clear
They said thank you God that the man's in here.
There's a man in here who turns water to wine
And he walked on the water and gives sight to the blind
And he gives back life to the ones that's dead
And he fed four thousand with seven loaves of bread.
There's a man in here who makes demons flee
Who makes cripples walk and he's chosen even me
For he lives in my heart and I'll have no fear
I'm a better man 'cause there's a man in here.
I'm a better man 'cause there's a man in here...

Recorded by the Statler Brothers on the 1979 album Holy Bible/Old & New Testaments, this track exemplifies their mastery of gospel-infused country and bluegrass. The song features the group's signature harmonies and driving acoustic instrumentation, characteristic of their work during the late 1970s. As part of their extensive discography, the recording showcases the brothers' ability to blend traditional religious themes with a polished, commercial sound that defined their era. It stands as a testament to their enduring influence on the genre, capturing the spiritual fervor and vocal precision that made them a staple of American roots music.
