Hands Of Joseph

<br>When they looked at Joseph`s hands <br>They said, They`re the hands of a carpenter <br>They`re big and they`re powerful and they`re strong <br>They`re the hands that should work in wood <br>And they`re the hands that should work a long day <br>Joseph he did all those things <br>But he also learned how to play <br><br>He would sing about joy, sing about faith <br>That the people wished they had <br>How he heard the voice of Jesus <br>When the rolling sea got mad <br>He`s a boat in the harbour, he`s safe in that love <br>He know some day he`ll be sailing above <br><br>When they looked at Joseph`s hands <br>They said, They`re the hands of a stonemason <br>They`re big and they`re powerful and they`re strong <br>They`re the hands that should work in stone <br>And they`re the hands that should work a long day <br>Joseph he did all those things <br>But he also learned how to play <br><br>When they looked at Joseph`s hands <br>They said, They`re the hands of a fisherman <br>The musician and the mason-carpenter <br>And he`s happy all the time <br>For they`re working every day <br>And those old hands of Joseph <br>Oh how they can play.
