Anyone know the lyrics? This is what I recall: Put your hand in the hand of the man who stills the waters. Put your hand in the hand of the man who calms the sea. Take a look at yourself and you will look at others diffirently By putting your hand in the hand of the man who calms the sea. /////////I think this came out back in the 70s. Thank you.

From: Bob Landry

Here they are:

PUT YOUR HAND IN THE HAND (Gene MacLellan)

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

By putting your hand in the Hand of the Man from Galilee.

Every time I look into the Holy Book, I want to tremble,

When I read about the part where the Carpenter cleared the Temple.

For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellers than what I profess to be,

And it causes me pain to know I'm not the man that I should be.

Chorus:

Mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven.

And when I'm down on my knees, that's a-when I'm close to heaven.

Daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife; you know what a-you must do,

But he showed be enough of what it takes to get you through.

Chorus:

Hope I put in enough carriage returns this time.

Enjoy, Bob

Does anyone know the full lyrics to a gospel song that was popular about 20-25 years ago? The chorus went: 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.

Also, if you have chords that would help. I'm not sure I've got all the chords figured out. Looked for this song on Digitrad Database and other places with no luck.` Thanks for your help. John E.

Thanks, every one. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but it seems there's another verse -- maybe someone else added it. It goes something like: Every time I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble, 'Specially when I read about how he cleared the temple .. . .. .. . . . .

I could be just imagining it, but I don't think so. All I know is I didn't dream that up.

The second verse goes something like this:

Every time I look into the Holy Book I want to tremble

When I read about how the carpenter cleared the temple

Cause those buyers and sellers were no different fellows

Than what I profess to be

And it causes me pain to know we're not the people we should be.

that's how I remember it. I never found that the words fit the music very well in this verse - maybe it was somebody's addition.

Johnny Cash did it some years ago and I recognize that third verse as being part of his song. Very pretty song in the right hands!

One of the women singers - maybe Anne Murray???? - also did it, with the Holy Book verse. I also always had trouble getting all the words to fit right with the music; I think it takes a "trained mumble" to get it right.

Hey Banjer, you said third verse. Does that mean I have the first and third? What's the second?
