I dug up the lyrics to PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE that we transcribed from a church performance in a small African-American church in rural NC.

Lyr. Add: PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE: Chords: G G Em Em Em Em D G
Solo (Choir only)

G                               Em
Put your hand in mine, put your hand in mine,
                                        D       G
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.


Put your hand in mine, put your hand in mine,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

Goin' down Jordan on a wheel of time.
(I need you Jesus) to put your (hand in mine).

Death is gonna skae this old frame of mine.
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

Put your hand in mine, (put your) hand in mine,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

One of these old morinings and it won't be long,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

You're gonna look for me, and I'll be gone,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

Put your hand in mine, put your hand in mine,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

(Put your hand in mine), put your hand in mine,
Singing, I need you Jesus, (Ineed you to) put your hand in mine.

Two, two white horses running side by side,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

They're gonna take me over, take me over to the other side,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

Put your hand in mine, put your hand in mine,
Singing, I need you Jesus, to put your hand in mine.

Put your hand in mine, put your hand in mine,
Singing, (I need you Jesus),
Singing, (I need you Jesus),
I'm singing, (I need you Jesus),
I can't make it by myself (I need you Jesus),
Every day of my life, I need you Jesus(I need you Jesus),
To put your hand in mine.

Note: Last line sung by all. Called an "old" song, by one of the leaders in the church.

Any info about origin?
