The Platters - Put Your Hand In The Hand lyrics

Put your hand in the hand of our sweet Lord 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 you can now look at others differently By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee Every time I looked into the Holy Book, I wanna tremble When I read about the carpenter's son who cleared the temple For the buyers and the sellers Were no different fellas than what I profess to be And it causes me pain to know I'm not the person I should be 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 you can now look at others differently By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee My momma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven (When I lay me down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep) And when I'm down on my knees that's when I be closest to Heaven (If I should die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul to take) Daddy lived his life with three kids and a wife, you do what you must do But he taught me enough of what it takes in life to get through 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 you can look at others differently By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
