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!
VERSE 1 (Key of E)
E B7
Every time I look into the holy book I want to tremble
F#m B E
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 we're not the people we should be!

By puttin’ your hand in the hand of the man from the Galilee!

My mamma taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
A A# E A
She said, "There’ll come a time when there'll probably be room in heaven!"
A7 D D#dim(7)
But I’m feeling kinda guilty ‘bout the number of times to do what we must do,
A E D A D A
But we forget what he said when we figured that He’d still make room!

E A E7
So! Ya gotta put your hand in the hand of the man Who stilled the water
Bm E A
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,
A E D A D A E
By puttin’ your hand in the hand of the man from the Galilee!
Repeat CHORUS 2 and fade...
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official OCEAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
