Lyrics
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 puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Every time I look into the Holy Book, I want to tremble
Or when I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas than what I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be
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 puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
She said, "There'll come a time when there'll probably be room in Heaven"
But I'm feeling kinda guilty 'bout the number of times to do what we must do
But we forget what He said then we figure that He'll still make room
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 puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth:
Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
