SON OF A SON OF A CARPENTER

VERSE
People say I’ve got my Father’s eyes
But it’s His Spirit and compassion I desire
For He was born into this world a babe like me
But He grew up and gave His life to set men free
Now every day I’m striving more like him to be

CHORUS
‘Cause I’m the son of a son of a carpenter
And he has taught me well
To build on things eternally
And not on this life dwell
For the things of this world will all pass away
But His power never fails
To overcome the hammer and the nail

CHORUS
My Father can repair a broken heart
And bind together what sin has torn apart
With His touch He makes the weak ones strong again
The broken temple He will resurrect my friend
I must be about His business till He comes again

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE
Holy Father of whose love I’m not ashamed
From the highest raptors of this earth I will proclaim

CHORUS
That I’m a son of son of a carpenter (REPEAT CHORUS)…..

TAG
The hammer and the nail
