about

What would life have been like for a kid living next door to Jesus? And how would his father have explained Jesus' wanderings–and his death? Such are the thoughts behind "Joseph's Son."

lyrics

Where O where is the carpenter?
O father, where is Joseph's son?
I have looked high, and I have looked low
O tell me where has the carpenter gone?

He's gone, He's gone to walk this wide land
My son, the truth I'll tell to you
He has twelve men to walk beside Him
His Father's will He has gone to do

He traveled north and He traveled south
No food no drink did pass His mouth
For forty days in the the wilderness
Our carpenter did pass His test

He traveled east and He traveled west
O'er mountain high, through valley low
To heal the sick, the deaf and the blinded
To shed His light on our darkened souls

Where O where is the carpenter?
O father where is Joseph's son?
I hear the cry, I see the soldiers
O tell me where has the carpenter gone

He's gone, He's gone to yon green garden
Of His twelve men took all but one
To pray for strength for what lay before Him
Saying, "Not My will but Thine be done"

He's gone, He gone to yon high hill
Gone to where stood crosses three
He cried His last 'neath the blackened sky
And all alone died on the cursed tree

A tomb so deep in stone so cold
Laid there, men thought, no more to see
But just as the sun returns in the morning
He rose from death and He set us free

O where O where is the carpenter?
O father, where is God's own Son?
My son, He's gone where we cannot follow
But He'll return to take us home
