Lyrics Put Your Hand in the Hand - Donny Hathaway

Put Your Hand in the Hand

Chorus:
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.
Every Time I look into the holy book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I profess to
be,
And it causes me shame to know I’m not the gal that I should be.
Chorus:
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.
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 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.
Chorus:
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…
