He Sent A Carpenter Lyrics - 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
