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
a you can look at others diff'rently

by puttin' your hand in the hand
of the man from-a Galilee.

Ev'ry time I look into the Holy Book
I want to tremble
when I read about the part
where a carpenter cleared the temple;
for the buyers and the sellers were
no diff'rent fellas than what I profess to be

and it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal
that I should be.

Put your hand in the hand...

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;
Dady lived his life with two kids and a wife;
You do must you must do
but he showed me
enough of what it takes to get you through.
