Put Your Hand in the Hand - The Ocean/Joan Baez/Elvis Presley/Anne Murray/Loretta Lynn/Allison Durbin/Donny Hathaway

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
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Everytime I look into the holy book, I want to tremble (tremble)
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple (temple)
For buyers and the sellers were no different 'fellers' than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we 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
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

My momma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees, that's when I'm closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life, two kids and a wife, you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through

By putting 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
