Put Your Hand In The Hand
Elvis Presley 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!
In Elvis Presley's song "Put Your Hand In The Hand", the lyrics call for listeners to place their trust in a higher power. The reference to the man from Galilee is a nod to Jesus Christ, who is said to have calmed the sea and stilled the water according to scripture in the New Testament. The lyrics suggest that by putting one's hand in the hand of this powerful figure, one can look at oneself and others in a new light, gaining a new perspective and sense of purpose.
The first verse emphasizes the power of the man from Galilee to perform miraculous feats and encourages listeners to trust in that power. The second verse refers to the personal experience of the singer, who learned to pray from their mother at a young age and finds comfort in turning to prayer when they are feeling lost or alone. The chorus repeats the call to put one's hand in the hand of the man from Galilee, emphasizing that this is an act of faith and trust.
