The scoffers had a field day with Jesus:
Where did a carpenter's son get all this?
Keep me from the seat of the scoffers.
Let my delight be in doing your will.
Let me not cling to my own welfare
when you call me to be faithful.
You will not forsake me;
may I never forsake you.
Where did a carpenter's son get all this?
Keep me from the seat of the scoffers.
Let my delight be in doing your will.
Let me not cling to my own welfare
when you call me to be faithful.
You will not forsake me;
may I never forsake you.
