Put Your Hand in the Hand. They don't write or sing them like this anymore. Written by Gene MacLellan and first recorded by Anne Murray in 1970. It's performed here on The Johnny Cash Show (probably in '70 or '71) with an all star cast featuring Johnny Cash, Anne Murray, Merle Haggard, Bonnie Owens, the Carter Family, The Statler Brothers and Homer & Jethro. There are likely a few other well known names among the backing musicians.

Elvis Presley was known to be a fan of Murray, who had a distinctive 'contralto' voice, and recorded a version of both this song and her earlier hit Snowbird, which again had been written by MacLellan.

Ocean performing “Put Your Hand In The Hand” in 1971. __________________________ Put Your Hand In The Hand Songwriter: Gene MacLellan

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

Every time I look into the Holy Book I want to tremble (tremble) Or when I read about the part where the carpenter cleared the temple (Temple) For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas than what I profess to be And it causes me shame to know we're not the people we should be

So, 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

My mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven She said, "there'll come a time when there'll probably be room in heaven" But I'm feeling kinda guilty 'bout the number of times to do what we must do Well you do what you must do But we forget what he said, then we figure that he'll still make room

So, you gotta 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

Everybody come along

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water (Who stilled the water) Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea (Who calmed the sea) Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
