Put Your Hand in the Hand Lyrics

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 differently

By puttin' your hand in the hand
Of the man from-a Galilee

Every 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 different 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 a
When I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife
You do must you must do
But he showed me
Enough of what it takes to get you through
