Psalm 127: The Lord builds the house
Jesus as a boy trained to be a carpenter,
taught by his Dad on earth.
Jesus as our risen Lord is the master builder,
taught by his Father in heaven.
He builds us up,
he builds his church,
he builds our homes and families.
He draws the plans,
he provides the tools and timber,
he works beside us.
No need for us to get stressed,
to work too hard or get too tired.
We build in God’s power,
we rest in God’s peace.
Jesus as a boy loved his brothers and sisters.
Jesus as our risen Lord loves every child, everywhere.
Children are the most precious gift of all.
Children are our pride and joy.
Young and old we build God’s house.
We grow in God’s power,
we rest in God’s peace.
