Put Your Hand in the Hand Lyrics

[Chorus]
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 putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

[Verse 1]
Every time I look into the holy book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be

[Chorus]
Put your hand in the hand of the (Hand in the hand) man who stilled the water (Hand in the hand), yeah
Put your hand in the hand of the (Hand in the hand) man who calmed the sea (Hand in the hand)
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently (Ah)
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

[Verse 2]
Momma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven (Seven)
When I'm down on my knees, that's when I'm close to heaven (Heaven)
Daddy 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

[Chorus]
Put your hand in the hand of the (Hand in the hand) man who stilled the water (Hand in the hand), yeah
Put your hand in the hand of the (Hand in the hand) man who calmed the sea (Hand in the hand)
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently (Ah)
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
