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.
