Hands of the carpenter
the hands of Joseph
the father of Jesus
raising our Savior
as his own son
Teaching him a trade
faithful to God’s calling
raising our Savior
as his own son
Giving him over
to the God’s will
giving up our Savior
handing him over
God’s own Son
dying for us

-----------------
With His Calloused Hands
Not a member of the elite
never sitting, studying in the Temple
working, with his calloused hands
the nets, the water, this was his life
Beginning the church, this foundation
ordinary men, laity, common
spreading the word
the truth of God’s love
to the ends of the earth
