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...
