Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilles the water

Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently

By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee



Well 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 to shame to know I'm not the girl that I should be

Put your hand in the hand...



Oh mama taught me how to pray before I ever reached the age of seven

And when I'm down on my knees well that's when I'm closest to heaven

Papa lived his life two kids and wife you do what you must do

But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through

Everybody put your hand in the hand...
