He Sent A Carpenter - Sawyer Brown

In a manger filled with hay

The Virgin Mother’s baby lay

While shepherds stood trembling at the site

This child was the King of Kings

But God who knows and sees all things

Sent a simple man to show the world the light

He sent a carpenter

A carpenter to build His kingdom here

A carpenter

He sent a carpenter to build on faith, not fear

The proof lay in those nail-scarred hands

So every heart could understand

He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here

His father’s house here on Earth

Was built on faith and by His works

Grew strong just like the rock it stood upon

Then God spoke to His only Son

And told him that his job was done

When that last nail was finally driven home

He sent a carpenter

A carpenter to build His kingdom here

A carpenter

He sent a carpenter to build on faith, not fear

The proof lay in those nail-scarred hands

So every heart could understand

He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here

The proof lay in those nail-scarred hands

So every heart could understand

He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here

He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here
