Put your hand in the hand
Of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand
Of the man who calmed the sea.
Take a look at yourself and
A you can look at others diff'rently
By puttin' your hand in the hand
Of the man from-a Galilee.
Ev'ry time I look into the Holy Book
I want to tremble
When I read about the part
Where a carpenter cleared the temple;
For the buyers and the sellers were
No diff'rent fellas than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal
That I should be.
Put your hand in the hand...
Mama taught me how to pray before
I reached the age of seven,
And when I'm down on my knees that's
When I'm close to heaven;
Dad lived his life with two kids and a wife;
You do what you must do
But he showed me
Enough of what it takes to get you through.
