Dan Stevens - Just a Carpenter lyrics
Artist: Dan Stevens
album: Angels in the Sand
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.
AND THERE IS THIS ONE BY JOAN WHITAKER

Just A carptenter you said, let me tell you what he 's build
In plain view for the world to see, at a place called Calvary's hill, on a cross from a tree with three rusty nails, Jesus build a bridge to heaven save my dying soul from hell

Not a tool in his hand but love in His heart He knew He would die there, right there from the very start
Thank God for not my will in the garden where He pray
If you think He's Just a Carpenter take a look at what he's build.
2vrs
He build it wide enough to span hell raging fury underneath
He knew that I would slip so He made it not to steep
Because I get weak and I get tired
He's made a way for me to rest from time to time along the way

If you think he's just a carpenter take a look at what He's build
Hope this is it! God bless
