The Carpenter

[Verse 1] Granddaddy put some oak from the hill through an old sawmill Built the porch we were sitting on Like a rocking chair preacher, told a story that was sweeter Than the tea we were sipping on Grandma dreamed of a wraparound Took me a month to get the last board down I said, "Ain't that something?" He said, "This ain't nothing" [Chorus] Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands built more than I ever could He set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood He bore a cross that built a bridge Ain't no broken that He can't fix He can mend where you hurt Let Him in and let Him get to work He's the Carpenter Oh [Verse 2] He said, "You should've seen me 'fore He helped me break free From the chains I was dragging round We wouldn't be here talking if I'd kept on walking That road I was going down Don't ask me how He made anything Out of the man I used to be I was a worthless pile of scraps He said, "I'm used to using that" [Chorus] Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands built more than I ever could He set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood He bore a cross that built a bridge Ain't no broken that He can't fix He can mend where you hurt Let Him in and let Him get to work He's the Carpenter [Bridge] Oh, He's the Carpenter He'll carve you out, sand you down Build you up on solid ground [Chorus] Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands built more than I ever could He set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood He bore a cross that built a bridge Ain't no broken that He can't fix He can mend where you hurt Let Him in and let Him get to work He's the Carpenter [Outro] Oh, He's the Carpenter He's the Carpenter
