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 diff'rently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from a Galilee

Every time I look into the holy book I wanne tremble
When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers where no diff'rent fellas than what I profess to be
And it causes me pain to know that I'm not the gal that I should be

Mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees that's a when I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life with two 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 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 diff'rently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from a Galilee
Put your hand in the hand of the man from a Galilee
