The carpenter would take some wood and a useful thing He's build

Create a work of beauty and a function would be filled

He plans His craft with purpose then crafts His plan with skill

Each piece holds true to His design according to His will!

He creates with assurance and perfection of technique

And since each one is hand wrought So each piece is unique

The carpenter would chip away all that's not conformed

To the image that He sees within- the creation he has formed!

And when his work's completed He sees that it is good

For he's made a new creation from a useless piece of wood

He planned his craft with purpose and crafts his plan with skill

Each piece holds true to His design according to his will!
