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
