Lyrics
The 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.
