O humble carpenter, down on Your hands and knees
Look on Your handiwork and build a house so You may dwell in me
So You may dwell in me
The work was done with nothing but
Wood and nails in your scar-born hands
O show me how to work and praise
Trusting that I am Your instrument
O loving laborer with the sweat upon your face
O, build a table that I too may join You in the Fa - ther's place
O, in the Fa - ther's place
The work was done with nothing but
Wood and nails in your scar-born hands
O show me how to work and praise
Trusting that I am your instrument
The kingdom's come and built upon
Wood and nails gripped with joy - ful - ness
So send me out, within Your ways
Knowing that the task is fin - ished
The dead will rise and give You praise
Wood and nails will not hold them down
These wooden tombs, we'll break them soon
And fashion them into flower beds
The curse is done, the battle won
Swords bent down into plow - shares
Your scar-born hands, we'll join with them
Serving at the table You've pre - pared
