Put your hand in the hand

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
But 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 about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
You know the buyers and the sellers are no
Different fellers from what I profess to be
And it causes me pain to know I'm not the kind of man I should be

So 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
But put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
Now when I'm down on my knees that's when I'm so close to Heaven
My daddy worked his life for two kids
And a wife, hey you do what you must do
And he taught me enough of what it takes to get me through

So 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
But put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
