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 puttin' 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 fellas than what I professed to be
And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be

Mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees, that's when I'm close to heaven
My daddy lived his life for two kids and a wife, and he did what he could do
And he showed me just enough of what it takes to get me through
