Good Friday 2011

cross

O Christ, the Master Carpenter,
    high on a cross you died;
    a wooden cross, with iron nails,
    a spear thrust in your side.

nailed

O Christ, upon that Friday cross
    your work on earth was done;
    yet, truly, in my life today
    your work has just begun.

tools

O Christ, take up your workman's tools
    and shape my life anew,
    that I who now appear rough-hewn
    may be restored by you.

O Christ, the Master Carpenter,
    let beauty gently shine
    within the workshop of my life-
    the praise be yours, not mine.
