(MacLellan)

Information:

Gene MacLellan wrote Put Your Hand in the Hand, which was first recorded by Beth Moore (Capitol 3013) in early 1971. The big hit with the song was by Ocean (Kama Sutra 519) later that year. Their recording went to #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and became a million-seller. Anne Murray also had a moderate hit with Put Your Hand in the Hand (Capitol 3082) in 1971. Shirley Caeser won a Grammy Award for Best Soul Performance of 1971 for her recording. The full title of the song is Put Your Hand in the Hand (of the Man from Galilee).

Elvis recorded Put Your Hand in the Hand at RCA's Nashville studios on June 8, 1971.

Lyrics:

1. 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
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, oh, yeah!

My momma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
When I’m down on my knees that's when I’m closest to heaven
Daddy lived his life and two kids and a wife, well, you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through, oh, yeah!

1. 1. 1. (repeat)

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, oh, yeah!

Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, oh, yeah!
