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 Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee [Verse 1] Every time I look into the Holy Book, I want to tremble (Tremble) When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple And those buyers and the sellers, no different, fellas Than what you and I profess to be And it causes me shame (Shame) to know that man is not what he 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 good look at yourself, you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee [Verse 2] Hey, my mama taught me how to pray, before I reached the age of seven When I'm down on my knees (Down on my knees) Hey, hey, I'm close to heaven My daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife And you've got to do what you've got to do But he showed me enough of what it takes to see you through This is what he used to tell me [Chorus] Put your hand in the hand of the man that stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea, oh yeah You gotta take a good look at yourself, and you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee Hey, put your hand in the hand of the man that stilled the water
