The Carpenter's Son
My manger needed mending
The animals were getting loose
I was chasing lambs every day
Rotting wood was the excuse
So I hired a man named Joseph
And when the work was getting done
I found a peace planted in my heart
By talking to the carpenter’s son
He said he would be a shepherd
And that people would be his flock
He was receiving guidance from up on high
Through the one and the only God
He had a way about him
That made me believe his story
His confidence contagious
When speaking of his Father’s glory
He said if I followed the Commandments
That Moses had once brought forth
We would be reunited in heaven
When our lives had run their course
When the manger was finally mended
And Joseph and his son had up and gone
I found peace planted in my heart
From talking to the carpenter’s son
