Hands of the carpenter
the hands of Joseph
the father of Jesus;
raising our Savior
as his own son
Teaching him a trade
sharing faith with him
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

Joseph’s
Hands

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
