Deze Amerikaanse band ken je misschien van hun Engelse vertaling van Jezus Overwinnaar. Dit keer coveren ze een oud lied en dat doen ze ook heel goed!
De Canadese zangeres Anne Murray schreef 'Put Your Hand In The Hand' in 1970. Maar het gospellied werd pas echt populair toen de band Ocean hun versie ervan uitbracht. In 1971 haalde het zelfs de derde plek in de Nederlandse Top 40!
Jaren later maakt de band SELAH ook een eigen versie. We verwachten niet dat dit ook in de Top 40 terechtkomt, maar het is wel heel fijn om naar te luisteren!
Liedtekst
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
