Carpenter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The Lord showed me David, called from the field
From leading his sheep, a sword to wield
To lift up a people whose burden was hard
And to walk in the way of God
But I am a carpenter
I am a workman in this town
I am a man who lives here, but my time is coming around
A vision I've seen
A lesson I've learned
A path is before me
A season has turned
And this have I known from the opening of my eyes
a seed has to die to be life
But I am a carpenter
I am a workman in this town
I am a man who lives here, but my time is coming around
Father
How long Father?
My mother I'll leave
My shop I shall board
The strands of my soul weave tightly in a cord
And Father, I pray that not one shall be lost
Yes, for them, in joy I'll pay the cost
No longer a carpenter
No longer a workman in this town
No longer a man living here, and my home is not on this ground
No longer a carpenter
No longer a workman in this town
No longer a man living here, and my home is not on this ground
