The Carpenter |
| He was just a carpenter by trade |
| He learned from his father at a very early age |
| There was something special in the man |
| There was much more to his life |
| Than just working with his hands |
| And He’d say There’s no home I could design that would match the one you’d find, |
| when you leave this world behind, if you only took the time |
| Love your neighbour like your brother |
| Treat your brother like a friend |
| Always turn the other cheek |
| Help the weary and the weak |
| Make the time for young and old |
| And as your life unfolds |
| Each kindness that you’ve shown |
| Will be the nails and hammers |
| As you build your final ladder |
| In the manner of the carpenter of old |
| You could feel compassion in his eyes |
| Only fools that hurt him did not realize |
| That he was speaking to us all |
| The righteous and the mighty |
| The silent and the small |
| And He’d say There’s no home I could design that would match the one you’d find, |
| when you leave this world behind, if you’d only take the time |
| Love your neighbour like your brother |
| Treat your brother like a friend |
| Always turn the other cheek |
| Help the weary and the weak |
| Make the time for young and old |
| And as your life unfolds |
| Each kindness that you’ve shown |
| Will be the nails and hammers |
| As you build your final ladder |
| In the manner of the carpenter of old |
| He was just a carpenter by trade |
| He learned from his father at a very early age |
