I had to learn "Put Your Hand in the Hand" for my Dad's memorial and I said in advance I would be using a music stand with the words as I'm bad at memorizing lyrics, especially when nerves get involved, but mostly I had the chorus memorized.
but now for whatever reason I can't remember part of the chorus and in my head it goes "Put your hand in the hand of the one who killed the mother". like the latter part is clearly from another song but I don't know what one, lol.
