Hands of the Son lyrics

Sunlight streaming on the dusty floorLittle boy running through the open door"Come here, Jesus, take this toolLet me teach you the carpenter’s rule"Small hands holding a piece of pineMeasuring the wood along the lineThe maker of stars learning to planeSmiling through the sun and the rainTeach the hands that hold the worldWatch the mystery slowly unfurledSimple moments in the light of dayLiving the life in a humble waySawdust flying in the golden airA father and son, a perfect pairGod is learning a trade from manAccording to the master plan(In Nazareth)Years go by and the boy grows tallAnswering the silent, heavy callBut for now, it’s just wood and stoneA happy house and a peaceful throneJoseph wipes the sweat from his browLooking at the boy and wondering how"How did I get chosen for this task?"The only question he would ever askTeach the hands that hold the worldWatch the mystery slowly unfurledSimple moments in the light of dayLiving the life in a humble waySawdust flying in the golden airA father and son, a perfect pairGod is learning a trade from manAccording to the master plan(In Nazareth)Good job, son.Just like that.Nazareth days.
