He Sent A Carpenter

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 Chorus 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 Chorus 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
