He's a Carpenter

Surrounded by various profession Business, medicine, soldiership and education It's heaven-sent and planned for Him to labour To work manually with strength and effort True hardships; entails a great man of honor He picked up woods and tools to craft From small drawers and tables to houses that will last An impression of humility and expression of equality Though He is reverence; a Saviour from heaven Joseph was the adoptive father Where His skill of carpentry originated He worked night and day; perspired with pain He asked of no demand and with no complain The name is Jesus born in Betlehem The only begotten son of our Father in heaven He could have worked in another occupation But chose to make a living from down-below Carpenters make Carpenters create They take the common and make it something to consider Equipped with right materials they bind things altogether The reason-being, for us to know He's a builder Don't you know that we're under construction? Whenever our hearts broken and the world is all we know When we pray and call, Jesus is at work To fix us and forgive; improving mind and soul No work is greater if hardwork is shared Truly, Jesus had proven that a carpenter's noble To help us build our dreams and make the world stronger "In Him, all things hold together"'.

...And of the same profession of carpentry, a shameful cross He hang to earn us pride and wealth, and turn the cross into a symbol of freedom and life rather than damnation and death, HALELUJAH!

Thanks, Lara! Jesus was a great example that life is equal! It maybe fair or unfair to others but Jesus Himself didn't complain of anything in this world. Instead, He made all things possible from being too ordinary! He's a carpenter that'll always be there to break us and remake us whenever the need arise. Love,love,love! :-)

God is working in you and me! In times that we think that we're broken, just call onto Him and pray, and He will be there to remake us and guide us through! Love,love,love! :-)
