Songtexte Put Your Hand in the Hand (single/LP version) - Donny Hathaway

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
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
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Every time I look into the Holy Book, I want to tremble
When I read the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
And those buyers and sellers, no different fellers
Than what you and I confess to be
And it causes me shame to know that man is not what he should be
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand, hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a good look at yourself, you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Hey, my mama taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees
Hey, hey, I'm close to heaven
My daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife
And you got to do what you got to do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to see you through
This is what he used to tell me
Put your hand in the hand of the man that stilled the waters
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea, oh, yeah
You better take a good look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, hey
Put your hand and go to the church of the man who stilled the waters
