Put Your Hand in the Hand
EVIE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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!
EVIE's song "Put Your Hand In the Hand" is a gospel tune about having faith in and seeking guidance from Jesus Christ. The lyrics encourage the listener to trust in the man who stilled the water and calmed the sea, a reference to Jesus performing miracles in the Bible. The song suggests that by placing your hand in Jesus's hand, you can see yourself and others differently, with a new perspective brought about by spiritual enlightenment.
The song also touches on personal experience with faith, with the line "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." This suggests that the singer has a close relationship with their faith and finds solace in prayer. Similarly, the line "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" talks about the singer's father, who despite having a family to take care of, manages to impart the values of hard work and perseverance to their child.
