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 the 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 fellas

Than what I profess to be,

And it causes me shame to know

Im not the guy that I should be!







Mamma taught me how to pray

Before I reached the age of seven . . .

She said: Therell come a time when well probably need a room

In heaven!

And Im feeling kinda guilty bout the number of times

To do what we must do,

But we forget what he said when we figured that

Hed still make room!
