Murray, Anne - Put Your Hand In The Hand Lyrics






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 wanna 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 shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be

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

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 close to heaven
Daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife; you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get you through

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

Murray, Anne Put Your Hand In The Hand Comments
  1. E.... W....

    Sounds like the credit is going to the wrong place.

  2. C.... E....

    Gloria Gaynor's song association brought me here. I've known and loved Nana Mouskouri French version (Mets ta main dans la main) for more than 30 years without even knowing it was a cover!

  3. w.... z....

    "Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently." I think some believers miss that part in condemning others so quickly. It's what C.S Lewis, tried to help us understand in his book 'Mere Christianity.' (written because he wanted to heal the schisms which divided the faith). It's why many people still miss Christina Grimmie (the YouTube phenom/The Voice star who was killed in 2016). She sang like an angel, openly carried her deep love of Jesus, family and frands in her heart; as well as a tattoo of 'All is Vanity.' to remind herself of the empty value of shallow pride within the entertainment industry. Sad that no video has surfaced of Christina singing this song.

    w.... z....

    Nice to see another good review of "Mere Christianity"
    When I read the section on pride, it put me on my knees.

  4. D.... T....

    she was definitely a song bird

  5. E.... M....

    Mnnn whats missing???

  6. T.... P....

    Always will be OUR ANNE !

  7. D.... S....

    Woke up this morning with this song in my head. I googled it. I think Jone Biaz did it first. What an awesome way to wake up to a flash from the past

  8. J.... N....

    Always good to hear no matter what year

  9. B.... W....

    Beloved inspirational song...beloved songstress! How I remember her popular voice from years gone by.

  10. C.... R....

    She had a pretty voice. Way back when... a time when it wasn't offensive to sing about Jesus Christ. Look at where we are now, everyone worried they're going to offend someone at the mere mention of his name. I'm not offended if someone doesn't believe, why should they be offended that I DO?

    C.... R....

    Let your light shine Cynthia!

    C.... R....

    Oops. Meant "the life"

    C.... R....

    @Logan very nice Logan
    Thank and so true

    C.... R....

    @Brian Alejandro atheist usually pray before death.

    C.... R....

    Phil Montejano Thank you.

  11. R.... E....

    I Love Anne Murray

  12. M.... M....

    It's nice but I prefer Ocean's version.

  13. M.... D....

    Never judge another person. When a person is down lend a hand to lift them up.

  14. J.... S....

    Inspired by heaven!!!!

  15. A.... K....

    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
    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.

  16. T.... D....

    Got to give props to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_MacLellan he wrote this song and commited suicide in 1995. he lived a very frugal life and his daughter has an amazing voice.

  17. J.... M....

    A Gold Disc was a veritable and well deserved accolade for Anne Murray in her career as a singer of many and great fine songs as this attests to in the video.

  18. S.... ....

    I'm almost 60 years now and as I'm going back to old music from the late 60's and early 70's, I can't believe how many songs were made famous by people before the version I heard. I don't remember Anne Murray singing it, but I sure as hell remember Ocean, and that is the one I prefer. However, I love Anne Murray and I am NOT putting her down at all!!

  19. B.... C....

    i love her flower you know what i mean

  20. T.... R....

    Still Fantabulous in 2019

    T.... R....

    Terrence Ragin even 2020

    T.... R....

    AMEN 2020

  21. J.... M....

    Love this song

  22. S.... B....

    I always thought that Ocean came up with this magnificent song in 1971.

    S.... B....

    You are correct

    S.... B....

    1970. Ocean made it popular in 1971 if I'm not mistaken.

    S.... B....

    @sydney lowery Murray recorded it first

  23. R.... J....

    Very nice Thank you Beautiful video

  24. R.... K....

    This is Army of One. All i can say is i need one more mission

  25. E.... B....

    Great version of Put YouR Hand in the Hand by one of my favorite artists,what a voice.

  26. C.... C....

    Old time fovourite

  27. E.... D....

    Version Elvis very good

  28. I.... A....

    I remember that in the 60's this playing on AM radio. The days were simple then

  29. J.... I....

    I made that report because profanity doesn't have a place anywhere, especially on a gospel song video.

  30. J.... I....

    Seeing her perform on a Johnny Cash video brought me here.
    Take care and God loves you.

  31. M.... D....

    down to earth song

  32. C.... P....

    Now I know where Alex Van Halen got his drum intro for "Little Guitars" off the Diver Down album. 🥁

  33. t.... ....

    and she is catholic,.. point for caths

    t.... ....

    Not a question of Religion

  34. L.... H....

    F*ck Your Ethnicity brought me here

    L.... H....

    Lizbeth Herrera that is inappropriate

  35. R.... H....

    CONSIDER AGAIN Hand IN THE HAND OF the man. U BEEN SAVED!! THANK YOU LORD!!! It's two deep but not too deep!

  36. T.... R....

    Was this verse not in the Anne Murray recording? It's the verse I remember most vividly:

    Everytime I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble
    When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
    For the buyers and the sellers were no different fella's than what I
    professed to be
    And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be

    T.... R....

    That's the verse that IS in Anne Murray's recording. I haven't found it in Elvis' recording and Ocean didn't personalize it like Anne M.

  37. A.... S....

    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

    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, 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 yeh!

    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 yeh!

    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 yeh!

    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 yeh!
    Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
    Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, Oh yeh!

    A.... S....

    2 out of 10 for effort. You missed out verse 2 entirely, arguably the most poignant, and you've over-repeated the chorus. Also, it's "...others differently, BY putting your...". I'm a stickler for detail.

    A.... S....

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

  38. P.... M....

    listening to this in 2017 with a major boner

  39. A.... G....

  40. t.... D....

    LOVE THIS songHaventHeard it in Yrs

  41. U.... M....

    Ok, I am an agnostic irreligious man..but I absolutely love this cheerful song.

    U.... M....

    Put your hand in the hand, man

    U.... M....

    Religion can be confusing. But the truth will set you free. Take it simply Maiti. Trust your heart, love your neighbor, and know that salvation is a gift. You could be called at anytime.

  45. M.... ....

    Second verse, the words are different from Ocean's version.

    M.... ....

    Words are different in both verses. Ocean's first verse : "...we're not the people we should be." Anne Murray's verse: " I'm not the gal that I should be." Ocean's second verse is so radically changed that I'd have to quote the entire second half of the verse. Anne Murray's version is consistent with sheet music I have of that song. Ocean changed the lyrics.

  46. E.... M....

    Ocean is better. Listen Ocean, Jesus appears. Then lots of free stuff. Jesus is good. Free stuff is good. Free stuff is available because free stuff is love. Love is a sub atomic particle.

  47. n.... w....

    Love this song. Thanks for posting.
    Please listen to " Easter lilies the writers". Thanks.

  50. P.... E....

    KEEP YOUR HAND IN THE HAND OF JESUS! AMEN

    P.... E....

    Amen , only Jesus !

    P.... E....

    Peace brother

  51. e.... ....

    Jesus.... The highest scoring fictional character of all time.  Hip, Hip, Hooray.

    e.... ....

    etrius24 He's not fictional, you ding bat atheist.

    e.... ....

    So sad for you. Far from fictional, and was known by many outside of the Bible - even the Qur'an talks about both Yeshua (Jesus), and his mother, Miriam (Mary). Historical research bears out his existence. The real argument for atheists like yourself is, is he the Son of God? You will find out someday, one way or the other. I hope for your sake it won't be too late.

    e.... ....

    Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by me."

  52. C.... S....

    fuck god

    C.... S....

    no stfu bitch hope u burn in hell dumb bitch loop to loop head ass gtfo

  53. S.... B....

    It's great not just to know that Anne Murray is the first to sing this song as well as the best in doing so but to listen to this song & not only for people to hear reflections of themselves and others in hearing it as I had myself too but knowing that The Song is about Jesus too and of which can even go over little kids heads like it did mine when I found out when I heard The group of Ocean sing it on the radio in 1988 and for the first time of which I heard it since 1971 on a K-Tel Record ad on TV..

    S.... B....

    It was Ocean's recording.

  54. s.... ....

    Back in the day when singing Gospel songs about Jesus was cool

    Always love to sing along these great songs.....

  68. A.... M....

    I LOVE THIS SONG, HER VOICE IS VERY SPECIAL

  69. b.... ....

    Put Your Hand In The Hand is a great song. Anne Murray sang it really good. I'm recording it next, on Monday. I sing, play bass guitar, dance and show a lot of emotion. I did Oh Happy Day last week, and Amazing Grace and Swing Down Sweet Chariot before that. I thought I better do Gospel songs now that the rapture is almost here. Plus I been preaching hard again. But I have a lot of fun playing music. May God bless you.

    boldforjesus we need more songs and singers like this

  70. O.... ....

    Thanks, ElvisKlan, for posting this. I was having a conversation with a music pal yesterday and we could not recall who recorded this song. Remembered the tune and a lot of the lyrics but the artist, I looked it up and found out about Anne Murray's version, which I had never until today heard. Amazing how music stays with us - I was in 12th grade when I was listening to Ocean's version on the radio, and just last week turned - ouch! - 60,

    O.... ....

    Today is December 23rd 2019. I knew Red West had written if everyday could be just like Christmas. Yesterday I was listening to the Elvis station on Sirius Radio and they played Red West singing that song I never knew he recorded and released it. Elvis was the second person to record it and it was a big hit for him. Anyway, I was listening to the Red West version and then Anne Murray singing put your hand in the hand was next so I listen to it. Always liked that song I remember when it came out. I was reading comments came across yours what you posted six years ago and you said you had turned 60 with an ouch. It's now six years later so that would make you 66 and I understand the ouch, I myself turned 63 on the 8th.

  71. S.... ....

    Ab Soul brought me

  72. R.... W....

    This was a great mix! Can hear ALL the lyrics. Thanks for sharing!

  73. A.... ....

    鄉村風味..也不錯!!

  74. t.... c....

    as an ardent fan of Miss Murray's, I see what you all are saying, a true masterpiece.
