or our skill, or our craft, or a gift, whatever
God has been showing me recently
G
is that our life's work is not
G
write songs or preach or those kind of things.
D
It's actually our life's work is
F#m
what we do each day for
Christ.
G

in that nature is that I looked at
Paul's life and
recognized him as a tent maker,
Em
A
but that's not really what his life's work was, making
tents.
G

that somebody said, well,
Bm

stitch this seam together
G

wasn't his life's work.
Em
His life's work was about
