Put Your Hand in the Hand
Ocean 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
By putting your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee
Every time I look into the Holy Book
I want to tremble (tremble)
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 putting 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 putting 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
The song "Put Your Hand in the Hand" is a soulful and spiritual call to take action and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. The lyrics suggest that by reaching out to Jesus and following his example, individuals can change their perspectives and live a more fulfilling and compassionate life.
The first verse is a reference to Jesus' miracles of stilling water and calming the sea, which symbolizes his power to overcome life's obstacles. By putting one's hand in his hand, they can be guided through difficult times and find peace in their lives. The second verse focuses on the story of Jesus clearing the temple of buyers and sellers, and how we should all strive to live up to his example, rather than being hypocritical in our own behavior. The third verse touches on the guilt that may come from not always living up to the ideals of Christianity, but the message is ultimately one of hope and redemption.

Hoping that God will still have mercy and make space for us despite our shortcomings
Everybody come along
Inviting others to join in faith and belief
