Offering Our Hands

No gifts like the Magi
not royalty
no gold, no spices
no fragrant perfume

Offering our hands
the work to be done
loving our neighbors
till our work here is through

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
