Dottie West Lyrics
"Put Your Hand in the Hand"

(Gene McLellan)

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilles the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.

Well, 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 to shame to know I'm not the girl that I should be.

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilles the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.

Oh, mama taught me how to pray before I ever reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees well that's when I'm closest to Heaven
Papa lived his life, two kids and wife, you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through.

Everybody put your hand in the hand of the man who stilles the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself then you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee...
