Ordinary Working Men - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

When we doubt our call
our importance to God’s purpose
remember the first disciples
how they are so much like us

Ordinary working men
not the leaders in the temple
even Jesus, the carpenter,
he is the good shepherd

We can do great things
living as worship
submitting to the master’s plan
fulfilling his holy purpose
