Hands Of Joseph Lyrics - Singles - Ralph Mctell

When they looked at Joseph's hands 

They said, They're the hands of a carpenter 

They're big and they're powerful and they're strong 

They're the hands that should work in wood 

And they're the hands that should work a long day 

Joseph he did all those things 

But he also learned how to play 

 

He would sing about joy, sing about faith 

That the people wished they had 

How he heard the voice of Jesus 

When the rolling sea got mad 

He's a boat in the harbour, he's safe in that love 

He know some day he'll be sailing above 

 

When they looked at Joseph's hands 

They said, They're the hands of a stonemason 

They're big and they're powerful and they're strong 

They're the hands that should work in stone 

And they're the hands that should work a long day 

Joseph he did all those things 

But he also learned how to play 

 

When they looked at Joseph's hands 

They said, They're the hands of a fisherman 

The musician and the mason-carpenter 

And he's happy all the time 

For they're working every day 

And those old hands of Joseph 

Oh how they can play.
