- Note: Click "Show More" for lyrics. This video has been restored and cleaned up so you can enjoy it more than the distorted VH-1 copy posted elsewhere on CZcams. The audio is also original, as the song was performed live here. I have not redubbed the audio with the released (studio) version of the song. The song reached #2 on U.S. Charts in April 1971.
Ocean was a gospel rock band formed in 1970 in London, Ontario, Canada. They are best known for their million-selling 1971 single "Put Your Hand in the Hand", penned by Gene MacLellan. The gramophone record sold over one million copies and received a gold disc awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America on 3 May 1971.Ocean consisted of Greg Brown (vocals, keyboard), Jeff Jones (bass, vocals), Janice Morgan (guitar, vocals) [Janice, thanks for the correction :) ], Dave Tamblyn (guitar), and Chuck Slater (drums). The album was recorded in Toronto in 1970 and originally released on the highly collectable Yorkville label in Canada. The album contained eight songs written by such notables as Robbie Robertson and Gene MacLellan. The album was picked up in the U.S. by the Kama Sutra label that also released the band's second album in both the U.S. and Canada. Ocean managed another hit in Canada with the song "I've Got a Dream" written by the British songwriting team of Cook and Greenway, but they failed to make any impact in the U.S. and disbanded in 1975 after only two albums.
Lyrics:
Put Your Hand In The Hand (G. MacLellan/Beechwood Music Corp/Kama Sutra)
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-a you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from-a Gallilee.
Ev'ry 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-a you can look at others differently
By putting your hand in the hand of the man from-a Gallilee.
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 of guilty 'bout the number of times
To do what we must do
Oh we forget what he said when we figured that he'd 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-a you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Gallilee
(everybody come along)
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water (stilled the water)
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea (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 Gallilee.
I remember my daddy walking around our home singing this song at the top of his lungs ! He couldnt carry a tune , but what an awesome memory ! He taught me to serve that man that stilled the waters!
Love this!❤
One of my favorite songs!!!! For the musicians of this song I use to listen to this song as a child and I thank you because the 1970s was a wonderful time growing up!!!! ❤️🥰
For those of us who were blessed to grow up with these extraordinary songs about love and humanity, we should keep sharing these songs!!!! ❤️🥰
Amen 🙏🏼❤️
My mama used to sing it around the house, too.
I heard this song when it came out in 197. I was 19 now i am 71. Did not realize it what a song about Jesus Christe. Praise the Lord the King of Kings. I am just a mexican guy from across the border o USA . I am from Tijuana MEXICO
I remember this song when I was a little boy and now it's a 61-year-old man serving the lord is just like man that we need music like this again honest gospel preaching music Hallelujah thank you so much
Such a great song, thought about it this morning and searched for it. It gives you a great feeling and great memories.
I remember this song so much sang in church and My Mom played the record over and over . I am 55 years old now Wow thank you for the Memories
I grew up on this song on the radio.. I remember every word. How blessed we were to grow up on songs like this. Pray for this world today. 🙏🏼
We learned this song at Vacation Bible School one year. Feels like only yesterday and a million years ago all at the same time
Good Lord! Haven't heard that song in, must be 40 years. Thank you.
I was 6 when I first heard this song. I loved it every time they played it on the radio. I told my momma it was a song about Jesus. So great to hear this song again..thank goodness for Utube. Thank you for making your music and giving me great memories.
I was 6 when I first heard it too, over an intercom with built-in AM/FM in our house. Like you, Colleen, I understood right away they were singing about the Lord Jesus. The tune is lively and calming at the same time, with lyrics one can appreciate at any age. Thanks to 1hit1ders and really nice that Jan wrote in too!
It’s 2021 and we need Jesus now more than ever!
amen!
In Jesus name Amen

@@sean---the-other-one too bad you feel that way. When the Tribulation begins remember you said that.

I’ve got nothing to fear from any deity you choose to believe exists. I’ve got no issue standing by my lack of faith in a religion if there ever happened to be an intelligent designer.
To 1Hit1ders: I am the singer from this band (Ocean)... and my name was never Janice Brown... it was Janice Morgan and later became Janice Penfield. I want to thank you so very much for the obvious care to took remixing this song. Finally I have a copy of a LIVE version of that song that I really like. You rock!! Thanks so much.
Jan Penfield ~ Got any good stories from those days?
Awesome, great job!!!!!
Jan Penfield This was the first 45 I ever bought. Beautiful song and beautiful vocals. Thank you Jan.
Jan Penfield love you lady
I always loved this song, we even sang a version in Spanish at the church: "Pon tu mano en la mano del Señor de Galileaaa..". I listened to this song many times when I was very young; your voice inspired me and made me sigh. Now I have the chance to say thank you!! :*
'The Jesus Movement'. Peace, love & Jesus. Am glad to've been in this as a kid. I remember singing this in church. Wow how times have changed. But not our Awesome God!
Our God is an Awesome God
HE reigns from heaven above
With wisdom power and love
Our God is an Awesome God.
@@kevc21, How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth! Psalm 47...
" I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments," Daniel 9
Allah is pretty great
Jesus has been seen on 👂 so Manuka times.......A. Not once.... that’s bc he doesn’t exist.
Islam is deceitful according to
Christian Scripture.
@@justinfreeland708. I'm glad you came by to hear about JESUS, the One and Only Begotten SON OF GOD. The Only Resurrected Man, God, Lord, Savior, Master, Redeemer, and King of ALL kings, including your allah.
Hope you feel His love, and come to know Him personally. And... RECEIVE His forgiveness for ALL your sins - past, present, future. AND ... CHOOSE to be His child, so you can have eternal life RIGHT NOW by faith in Jesus! ...
And... NOT have to wait till you die to find out IF allah is pleased with you - to determine whether your good deeds outweighed your bad deeds; so you may enter a 'paradise' with perhaps, virgins only.
(How unfortunate for all other devoted married islamists. Also... NOT a very good way to be assured that your god loves you.)
With JESUS you can know right now (He first loved us; and while we were yet sinners, Christ came and died for us to cleanse us from all sin and restore us back to the Holy Father as His children).
All this can happen right now, IF you sincerely call on Jesus and REPENT - ask Him to change your sin-proned, sin-filled heart; and forgive you of all your sins. HE said:
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, WHEN ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).
Blessings to you in Christ Jesus, the soon-coming King of kings and Lord of ALL lords!
Raw, entertaining... and meaningful!!. Almighty God bless the disciples of Jesus Christ. We still ' put our hand in His hand ' here in the year 2022.
I love the part about my momma taught me how to pray, I’m thankful that I know Jesus, I recently lost my mother. Very touching song.
What a friend we have in Jesus! He's brought so many miracles in my life!!! Everybody should know Him!!
Amen🙏🏻❤️
I'm in total agreement!
❤
I heard this song my entire young life. I looked it up to teach my grandkids. Thanks for being available.
I first heard this beautiful tune in 1971 at church, even though I converted to another faith, my heart melts every time I play this tune❤ It’s 50 years on ❤
Come back to Jesus!
Jesus was really groovy in the 70's what happened. I was just a small girl but I remember this song and the Lord's Prayer was a #1 hit
The Jesus Movement exploded in 1970 in southern California.
@@Mr5thWave yes
God will ruin evils plans
Danielle, if my memory serves me correctly, Sister Jane Meade recorded "The Lord's Prayer". Please confirm.
@@shauntrailskinner9645 Thanks for confirming this, my friend.
Love the lyrics 🙏66yrs old and this song popped in my head.❤
That's exactly how it works. ♥️
Amen, Frank. The memories come flowing back.
It’s amazing how all the words came streaming back from my childhood. Love this still today ❤️
Childhood songs that have remained in my brain. Love this song .
Me too i am 71 the year that this song was playing in the radio. I am a mexican citizen from Tijuana. Just in the most northern border with the USA
Amen, same here. This song always makes me feel better.
My MAMA used to sing this song ALL the time...she used it to teach me to PRAY & TRUST GOD!! THANK GOD FOR YOUR GIFT!
I am part of a trio that performs regularly for Retirement Communities and Nursing Facilities in the Marietta, GA area. We perform this song and it ALWAYS a HUGE hit with the folks. They all remember and love it. To watch the elderly, the infirm, toe tap and clap is truly a blessing to know the enjoyment this song brings to them!
@ yea!
God bless young man . The Campbell 's are Atlanta , and Franklin from North Georgia .
I was in 5th grade when this song came out.
A timeless classic that's good for the mind, heart, and spirit✝✝
I’m 34 and today is the first time I’ve heard this. It was on the radio. I love it!!!
Loved when our whole country could sing about the Lord❤
There's a whole country, filled with people who still sing to God. Don't be discouraged
Amen to THAT, Charlotte. Things have DE- evolved!
amen. it hurts my heart when I see or hear of people who feel fear, oppression and offense when others profess, proclaim and give thanks to our Father.
oh for pete's sake, they always could if they wanted. Stop acting like it's been outlawed.
@@26shedan Hey friend, maybe you didn't HEAR---the ACLU,
back in 1962, moved to get rid of PRAYER in our PUBLIC
Schools...They WON! And any time we bring up "GOD," or
the Bible---we get HAMMERED!! Look around you--'do a
little homework. Remember that girl who was SHOT just
because she said she was a Christian? We are gettin' the
"BUSINESS" everywhere we go! Maybe it hasn't been "Out-
lawed," YET--'but it's DAMN CLOSE!
I love this song! I was little when this song first came out, but boy did I love belting it out around the house. Funnily enough the song came into my head, so I had to do it the honour of hearing it today. And I would sing it over, and over, and over. I had to duck the flying frying pans! Great memory to relive. Thank you!
I was born in the late fall of 1978. I own this both on a 45 Record and CD! Awesome Performance! Awesome Recording! Awesome Video! Anne Murray recorded this song first in 1970!
I havent heard this song in about 50 years.. wow so good.
This is a song we all need to hear in this day and age!
My grandma showed me this I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!! praise jesus
Song is as inspiring and encouraging today as it was back in the 70s! So wonderful to hear!😊
One of my favorite Gospel songs, memories of my childhood, feeling so happy whenever this song came on the radio. ♥️🙏🙏
Ever since I sincerely and wholeheartedly put my hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water, life just keeps getting more interesting and intriguing with each passing day. I start each day by saying, " Lord, may everything I do, think, and say this day be pleasing in your sight." I'm not perfect at executing His will, I know, but just knowing that He's present to support, encourage, instruct, strengthen, and accompany me on my earthly sojourn makes the journey so much more rewarding both for myself and for those i come into contact with. I wouldn't go back to "running the show" for anything.
Very well said, Brother...God's continued Blessings to you!
I was in High School when this song came out and the Spirit was moving so powerfully 🙌🏼♥️
This song has always stuck in my head since it first came out when I 5 years old . 😊
I was in a Calgary bar band in the early 70s called "Foundry" - we did this song and it was very well received by the every audience. It truly stands the test of time. Hats off to our singer, the late Louise Gogal, who nailed this great Gene McLellan tune.
- Glen
I was a tot when i heard this on the radio. If only we could hear it played on public radio again, imagine that! A time when folks knew and understood that God is real and God is good!!
Thus song just popped in my head and had to find it; I remember it as a child. Beautiful song!
i was only a kid in the early 70's but i had this tune on 45 vinyl. they just don't make bands like this anymore. even if you don't like the style of music what an amazing performance. hell the vocals alone are award winning great.
My Mom used to sing this to me when I was little! I LOVE YOU MAMA, SING THIS IN HEAVEN FOR ME! I SURE MISS YOU!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful message.
That song will live on in Christian music never gets old
They DESPERATELY need to add this to worship music in church; and ditch the funeral dirge type music they call modern Christian pop. It has no life to it. People don’t even want to sing along. You’d think they’d get a clue from that. People aren’t singing loudly or at all because it’s stupid, trite music, and has no life to it.
At my church or watching others online, it’s always the same old dull, dull, dull, and almost no one is singing with the worship team, the few who are are practically whispering, and even the worship team sounds pretty awful if we are being honest.
And we must be honest. People don’t come to church to be bored to tears. The joy of the Lord should be there, and how can it be there with cookie-cutter “Christian” pop? We are there to express the JOY we have for God, not what sounds like whining at best and despair overall.
Fake whining, fake emoting is prevalent in most Bible based churches today, and it is just…weird. It’s weird. Whiny music…I just wonder how God can tolerate it. I guess he filters with his God ears, but still…I’m sure he’d prefer more sincere, unbridled joy. It’s very whiny, and surely they must know that Abba Father has said how much he dislikes whining.
Even when David wrote his Psalms, even when he was struggling, and was on the run and had good reason to express fear and worry, and despair, his words had more feeling. I’m sure his music for them did, too, since he was an energetic man of passion, and made instruments just for the worship of God. He doesn’t strike me as the whiny, wimpy type. Everything he did was high-energy, dancing for the Lord, he was very into finding every way he could to express his love for God. Surely that’s why God was so fond of him. I doubt anyone has ever exceeded David’s exuberance and variety in just musical instruments alone, and ways to express himself to God.
This song does have great life to it, and I’d bet there’d be more joy and participation and true worship if the average worship team ditched the dull dirges and added this song, some like Elvis Gospel songs, and some upbeat, lively songs like you’d find in a good Southern Gospel choir (usually known to be sung by wonderfully super-energetic and joyful black people, singing happily and drawing everyone into it, you can’t help but feel better when they’re singing), so add those kinds of songs! You’ll get more coming back and more singing along…
Gosh, the memories. I was 9 years old when this song came out. I can still remember that first time I heard it, we were having a party at my elementary school. Out in the yard, it was a bright sunny day. I will never forget that day.
It has been my earworm today. Brought me back to my childhood
omg! I had forgotten all about this song. I used to love it. And, after all these years, I STILL remember the words! :)
That's something isn't it?? Dont hear a song for yrs, but you hear and you sing it with no problems
Yep. Me too. Learned it around 8 years old. Today, I'm 60. I have sung it to myself, from time to time. Never looked it up until right now, today.
And we still need to put our hands in His today! A great song! Eternally!
The absolute truth, Tanya! God's continued Blessings!
I think it's good that this song gets regular airplay on the radio. 🥰👍
One of my favorite gospel songs ever. A masterpiece. I loved it in college and I love it now. How true this song is!@
I remember this tune when I was a nine year old boy growing up in Detroit MI, still like it to this day, hear it every now and then on Sirius/XM 70's on 7.....
I was 16 when this song came out. It is one of my all time favorites. Thanks Jan!!
WOW!!! This song was on the radio when I was growing up…
I used to have the lp
I thought about this song and looked it up. I am writing a sermon to preach this Sunday titled: From Judgeship To Sainthood. I am talking about how people judge and condemn others, not realizing that if we looked at ourselves, we'd see others differently because all have sin(ned) and come short of the Man from Galilee. As this song informs us, we are no different than those he cleared out of the Temple. He is our righteousness and not we ourselves. Awesome message in this awesome song.
I heard this song today and said we still need to hear this in 2019
2020 !!!!

...and 2021
2022 😃
This was the first song I ever performed in public, it was a Sunday afternoon church service at the Salvation Army's "Harbour Light Center", a housing facility for men on "Skid Row" in Seattle. They'd have to sit through the church service and then they'd get a good meal and a bed for the night.
It was summer 1972, I was 13 years old and the Salvation Army was my parents church. My mother would frequently be called upon to assist with the Sunday meal preparations and she'd take me with. The pastor/clergy (The S.A. calls their clergy "Officers" and the laity are referred to as "soldiers") was a long time friend of my parents and asked me to "do a little number" for the service. I was scared to pieces, but I sang with all my might and I only remember the 40-50 people in the pews giving me a real nice round of applause when I finished.
God bless you hope you continue your journey in Christ!
That is such a beautiful story. You were so brave and I am sure you gave a lot of people an awesome memory.
❤ I was in the 1st grade when this song came out. The day the music 🎶 played this song I was the only one who knew that song. It's been a long while but I love this song so much. Thank you.
This song is right on. Praise ""Him".
I grew up listening to and singing this song. I'm not religious currently but this song will always hold a special place in my heart! Beautiful.
This song has a special place in my heart, too.
Lea Stretch I pray you find salvation and turn your life over to the man, Jesus, who still does miracles today, just like when he calmed the sea.
I love this song!!! It brings back good memories for me!!!!
Yes it does 🙂
Back when songs told stories. Back when music was good.
I got something goin here. I listen and sing this song everyday.
Cass Elliot- There's a new world comin'
On this day in 1971 {March 7th} "Put Your Hand In The Hand" by Ocean entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #87; and on April 25th it peaked at #2 {for 1 week} and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100 {and for 7 of those 14 weeks it was on the Top 10}...
It reached #4 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and #10 in their native Canada...
The week is was at #2 on the Top 100, the #1 record was "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night...
The quintet had three other records make the Top 100; "Deep Enough For Me" {#73}, "We Got A Dream" {#82}, and "One More Chance" {#76}...
Jan, it's nice to hear from you! I corrected the info already (it was a copy/paste from Wikipedia). I was only 13 when your song came out and I liked it from the first time I heard it on the radio. I never thought one day I'd hear from the person that actually sang it! It's a shame you didn't have more hits, there was obviously a lot of talent in your group. It's a really great tune, thank you for singing such an uplifting song that's part of the "soundtrack of my life"!
Avoid Wikipedia. It’s a known, well-known disinfo site, as is Snopes...and any “fact-checking” site as well.
I think you & Ms Penfield should give credit here, to Gene MacLellan, the man who wrote the lyrics. Very sad ending for him, may he R.I.P.
Yes Ocean did have another very well done hit called, One More Chance.
@@misskim2058 Out of curiosity, where do you suggest one goes to verify information? Wikipedia isn’t perfect, but I wouldn’t call it completely unreliable. It’s one of several tools people can use to try and find out the facts. As for Snopes, on what do you base your claim that it is not accurate? I don’t know what to make of you advising people to not use any fact checking sources. The only people I’ve ever known to say something like that are Fox News viewers, viewers of RT or One America or Breitbart or Tucker Carlson….all of the disseminators of misinformation and Russian propaganda, and people who are paid trolls or who otherwise have an interest in dividing Americans along superficial ideological lines.
I heard this song in the 2022 movie Prisoners and remembered it from my childhood. Found it here. Great song, thanks Jan!
Moments of clarity in life that transcend our mortal existence..
more of this and less violence please.
What awesome song when it's sung so beautifully and it's all about the only thing that matters, Jesus Christ

1 hit wonders because they didn't take a bite out of the apple. Blessed be God!!
Great song!Surprising that a song like THIS could've EVER be a hit,beings how most people hate God SO much,especially NOW!Not ME!I love the Lord.
What a beautifull song, what a beautifull woman, God bless all of them.
We love Jesus only because He Loved us first. Give Jesus all the Glory, Praise and Honor for He alone in worthy!!!
Yeah... how about no
KraftBrotHD Yeah...how bout YEAH!!!!
in today's World with the $$ the billionaires controlling society, it's amazing that this can still be heard, no?

IT'S HASHEM !!!!
DUMB ASS !!!!
God Bless you all🙏
“Family Matters” also sung this song in church. That was a beautiful moment on the show.
I was about 13 when this song came out. Its 6:16 a.m. in New Market, AL and this song came to my mind. This song needs airplay today. With recent events like Covid-19 killing people around the world we need to remember to put our hands in God's unchanging hands. He never changes, yesterday, today and forever. So let us put this fight against this invisible enemy in God's hands.
Man, I was 5-6 years old when this was on the radio In the 70’s. I loved this song and also Day by Day by Robin Lamont. Such good simple music back then…. Loved the 70’s ❤
What a flashback from yesteryear! The groups only number #1 hit in 1971!
Talk about bass! This song is all about bass. Comes through loud and clear, almost like a counter melody.
Stanley TryHard agree about the bass! That’s Jeff Jones who went on to play with Tom Cochrane and Red Rider. And before that, was the original bass player and front man for Rush for a short while in ‘68.
@@jameygray And he can sing at the same time!! A talent I sadly lack ...
@@jameygray You probably know more than I do, but the story I heard was that Geddy and Alex started Rush but Geddy's family took an extended summer vacation in '68 and Alex replaced him with Jeff during that period. I don't know if the plan was for him to be a permanent replacement or a temporary one, but Geddy ended up back in the band when his family returned. Considering Geddy's "unique" vocal range, it might have been tempting to keep Jeff even with Geddy & Alex's childhood friendship.
Great songs and artists like this are living proof that the Lord's anointing of the Lord th use folks and their talents transcends all time, just like Him!
With all the violence, riots, and protests happening in our country today, we definitely need to hear more songs like this one. America, more now than ever, needs Jesus. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!!!

Love this beautiful song. I loved the 70s. The best part of my life---my childhood. I was in kindergarten when this beautiful song was playing everywhere.
Such a great song back then and still is! I’m teaching it to my Grandson! He loves it too!
5 YRS OLD WHEN THIS TUNE CAME OUT!!! AND YUP, GROOVY MAN, TOTALLY GROOVY!!!!!! STILL LOVE IT TO THIS DAY.
My favorite gospel music when I was 4 and a half years old in 1971. Groovie music. Put your hand in the hand of the Man from Galilee. A gospel/ rock in roll out of Canada name Ocean.
I was 11 yrs old and I vividly remember this song because it's what was playing on the car radio when we were involved in a head on collision. I just remember this song playing before the accident and then only remember being put into the ambulance. Luckily noone was seriously hurt (I had a mild concussion) and it happened by meeting at the top of an overpass that was a one way road. I was petrified to ride in a car for two long years after that. Everytime my mom had to quickly brake I would jump out of my seat. So anytime I hear this song it takes me back to that time in my life.
Thanks so much for this song. As a mixed race couple we have put our hands in the hand of the man from Galilee.
Oh my gosh!!! I LOVE this song!! I have always LOVED this song!! This brings back so many memories. Happy tears are flowing. Thank you so much for taking the time to restore this treasure.
I wasn't even close to being born yet when it came out but I can really appreciate this song . It has such a great message that's always applicable and ocean did such a great job giving it a whole new sound .personally I don't think jan ever got the credit like she should have she was better than today's hacks by a long shot . the catchy groove was perfect it was mellow and the trading singers clever and lyrics with a great message we desperately need to clung to in this world today . We hold on to our junk in life instead of putting our trust in the man who calms the sea. Jesus can get you through the storms of life if you'll just give him your hand
I am 30 and I just heard the song from the TV series “Family Matters “ so lovely.
I first heard this song sung by this dude that hung out with my family nuch. My family weren't Christians then. He sung it all the time ..at jams , socials. The lyrics of the song somehow stayed with me even till today. Ocean, Janice P. Bless you for doing this song soooooo well, sooo brilliantly. I listen much to this song sung by you especially when i need a touch from Our God. Our God is doing wonders..if there's a prayer i can pray for you pls do sing-out, it Will be an absolute honor to pray.
I was 4 and I could sing every word.....love this memory.
I was 4 as well. One of the first song that I remember. This song and Three Dogs Night’s “Joy to the World” by Hoyt Axton.
@@sartainja That’s so funny. For me, it was One by Three Dog Night. I met them a few years back. Nice guys.
Such a great song. A song my beautiful late wife use to sing all the time. great lyrics great band great Man, always brings a tear to my eyes when ever I hear this.
this brought back some memories for me,my mother used to sing this song to me before she got sick and now shes so sick that she doesnt even act like herself anymore, i miss that so much :'(
Top ten on Billboard this week 45 years ago, eventually would peak at #2 in May 1971. Remember it well since I was finishing 2nd grade at a Catholic school and the "Jesus rock" trend in music was strong.
Praise Almighty God!!
💀..wow..I remember this song from when I was a little kid..it always made me feel weird.., and, know what ?.., it STILL does !!
Wowwwww i was 9 y.o.when i heard this song..and my faith never fades.. Lord Jesus nazareno Mama Mary i put myself to you ❤️😘😊🙏🙏💖😊❤️
Billy Graham mentioned the song in 1971 during a sermon he preached as the Jesus revolution was taking hold across the US. He said the youth of the country are singing about the 'man who calmed the seas'.....as many of the 60's and 70's hippies became disillusioned with sex, drugs and rock & roll and 'turned their eyes upon Jesus'.
Sure didn't impact our society if they did. Country going straight to hell for generations. My WWII generation Dad used to tell me that America wouldn't survive the "sick '60's." He was right. We have the dope, perverted sex (throw in porn and abortion), America hate, selfishness, green foolishness, etc., of that period that now dominates everything like the smoke from the now recreationally legal devil weed...as if we didn't have enough mental and educational problems here. 1960's triumphant; straight from Haight-Asbury. Btw, ground zero for all of it was SF...in a shambles.
Wow, you got a reply from the person who actually sang the song in this band. Put Your Hand In The Hand is a great song. I like how they traded off singing lead in this song. Not that Jan couldn't sing it all, but it showed talent from the musicians. I'm recording it next, on Monday. I sing, play bass guitar, dance and show a lot of emotion. I did Oh Happy Day last week, and Amazing Grace and Swing Down Sweet Chariot before that. I thought I better do Gospel songs now that the rapture is almost here. Plus I been preaching hard again. But I have a lot of fun playing music. May God bless you.
And what evidence do you have the rapture is almost here? Also isn't it like a single verse in the bible that has been construed to think that there would even be a rapture.
Seriously personally I think God will send everyone through the tribulation. Wouldn't that truly be a test of faith? Why do just normal everyday people get let off the hook? It's not like God let Job off the hook without testing his faith did he?
you know everyone has been saying the rapture is gonna happen for over 2000 years.
Oh and another question that bugs the shit out of me. God created Cain and Able but by being more pleased with Ables gifts over Cain it created jealousy in Cain. So in essence didn't God really cause Cain to kill Able?
But then again theorizing about the rapture based entirely off a book translated by a guy (King James) who wasn't even there and had a bias to put what he wanted to in the book is kind of the opposite of a sane mind.
AMEN, We have to pray, watch, & be ready, because no man knows the hour, time, or day of JESUS' RETURN! GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU ALWAYS, BROTHER! ALWAYS STAY BOLD FOR JESUS!
ilililhy1 Amen, we don't know when His return is or when disaster strikes. Life can end any day for any of of us. We have to be ready to meet our Maker. I was bold for Jesus last night preaching in front of a Bruno Mars concert. I have videos. Monday I did the Justin Timberlake concert and made 6 videos. Last weekend I did the Jazz Festival with 10 videos. I just did street preaching 4 of the last 7 days. It's been one of my best weeks ever, if not THE best. May God bless you even more.
ilililhy1 he ain't coming
Do Ron let me just squeeze in he is coming and be prepared our king is coming for us 😊
Still such a brilliant song 40 years on! Praise to the ONE TRUE TRIUNE GOD, MAY WE BLESS HIM FOREVER--THIS BEING GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN!!!

***** I will be 70 next birthday and motives of a more prurient interest nature, have pretty much been relegated to the past.She is in her late 60's and so the exuberance of youth has too , subsided.Peace friend..db
