| lyric | Ref.: 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-a
you can look at others dff’rently
by puttin’ your hand in the hand
of the man from-a Galilee.
1. Ev’ry time I look into the Holy Book
I want to tremble,
when I read about the part where a carpenter
cleared the temple;
for the byers and the sellers
were no diff’rent fellas
than what I profess to be
an it causes me shame to know
I’m not the gal that I shpuld be.
2. Mama taught me how to pray
before I reached the age of seven,
and when I’m down on my knees taht’s-a
when I’m close to heaven;
Daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife;
you do must you must do,
but he showed me enough
of what it takes to get you through. |
