CHORUS 1 (Key of E)
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
(7)
Take a look at yourself, and you can look at others differently,
By puttin? your hand in the hand of the man from the Galilee!
VERSE 1 (Key of E)
Every time I look into the holy book I want to tremble
When I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple
(7)
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas than what I profess to be,
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be!
CHORUS 2 (Key of A)
So 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
(7)
Take a look at yourself, and you can look at others differently,
By puttin? your hand in the hand of the man from the Galilee!
VERSE 2 (Key of A)
My mamma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
She said, "There?ll come a time when there'll probably be room in heaven!"
(7)
But I?m feeling kinda guilty ?bout the number of times to do what we must do,
But we forget what he said when we figured that He?d still make room!
CHORUS 3 (Key of A)
So! Ya gotta 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
(7)
Take a look at yourself, and you can look at others differently,
By puttin? your hand in the hand of the man from the Galilee!
Repeat CHORUS 2 and fade...
