Wood and Nails |
| O humble carpenter, down on Your hands and knees |
| Look on Your handiwork and build a house |
| So You may dwell in me |
| So You may dwell in me |
| The work was done with nothing but |
| Wood and nails in Your scar-borne hands |
| O show me how to work and praise |
| Trusting that I am Your instrument |
| O loving laborer with the sweat upon Your face |
| Oh, build a table that I too may join You |
| In the Father’s place |
| Oh, in the Father’s place |
| The work was done with nothing but |
| Wood and nails in Your scar-borne hands |
| O show me how to work and praise |
| Trusting that I am Your instrument |
| The kingdom’s come and built upon |
| Wood and nails gripped with joyfulness |
| So send me out, within Your ways |
| Knowing that the task is finished |
| The dead will rise and give You praise |
| Wood and nails will not hold them down |
| These wooden tombs, we’ll break them soon |
| And fashion them into flower beds |
| The curse is done, the battle won |
| Swords bent down into plowshares |
| Your scar-borne hands, we’ll join with them |
| Serving at the table You’ve prepared |
| O humble carpenter |
