The Carpenter – v2

Before He was the Good Shepherd,

he was the carpenter’s son,

We can learn much,

From the Carpenter, even as

the fishermen did,

after his rising.

Cutting with the grain,

planing the boards level,

sanded smooth, measuring,

planning, drafting and

redrafting, before the first cut,

long before the nailing.

Being the hands, using the tools,

the skills, the blueprint,

for this work and their lives.

Following the plans of the Carpenter

and his heavenly Father,

Creator, the Master Architect.
