Just a Carpenter - Dan Stevens

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

cho

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.

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

Hope this is it!
