Song of A Carpenter

 

Once he said, I have to go away

I'll be gone for just awhile.

And though it hurts to leave you now

I leave you with my smile.

Cause the place that I am going to

Is like the memories we shared.

The memories of our love and life...

Remember how I cared.

I lived my life a carpenter

But I did not die in vain.

I left a light to guide you

Through the darkness of your pain.

If you look within your hurting soul

You'll find a flicker that can flame.

And you'll know that I am holding you

When you call out HIS name.

He lived HIS life a Carpenter

A stable held HIS birth.

And in a world of darkness

He came to light the earth.

My Father's house was built for you

It's doors are open wide

But you have to love my Jesus

If you want to come inside.

We're building a new home for you

This Carpenter and I

It's walls are built upon your prayers

And the way you live your life.

Let HIS light grow in you always

Show others HE'S the ONE

Then we'll all be together

You, me, Our Father and HIS Son.

When we're standing here in heaven

Arm and arm, we'll know we've won.

Looking at the house we've built,

We'll hear Him say...Well Done.
