We think of the fishermen
the first disciples
their hands doing
the work of the church
Each of them chosen
called by the Shepherd
to follow Him completely
in love and submission
The humble King guiding
our walk, our journey in
this life
showing us an example
of servanthood and sacrifice
To continue His work
to be the carpenter’s hands
using all we have, our
gifts,
to lift up our fellow man

“With His Calloused Hands”

-----------------
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
