"Put Your Hand In The Hand" lyrics

Put Your Hand In The Hand

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
By putting your hand
In the hand of the man
From Gallalee

Every time I look into the Holy Book
I wanna tremble
When I read about the part
Where the carpenter freed the temple
For the buyers and the sellers
Were no different fellers
Than what I confess to be
And it causes me shame
To know I'm not the gal that I should be

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
By putting your hand
In the hand of the man
From Gallalee

Mama taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees
That's when I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life
For eight kids and a wife
You do what you must do
But he showed me enough
Of what it takes to get you through

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
Just by putting your hand
In the hand of the man
From Gallalee

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
Just by putting your hand
In the hand of the man
From Gallalee

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
