[G] In a manger [C] filled with hay [G] The virgin mother's [C] baby lay
[G] While shepherds stood there [C] trembling at the [D] sight
[G]This child was the [C] King of Kings
[G] But God who knows and [C] sees all things
Sent a [G] simple man to [D] show the world the [G] light
Chorus:
He sent a [C] carpenter, a [C] carpenter to [Am] build His kingdom [G]here
[C] A carpenter, He sent a [C] carpenter
To [Am] build on faith not [D] fear
[Em] The proof lay in those nail [C] scarred hands
[Em] So every heart could [C] understand
He sent a [G] carpenter to [D] build His kingdom [C] here
[G] His father's [C] house here on earth
[G] Was built on faith and [C] by His works
[G] Grew strong just like the [C] rock it stood [D] upon
[G] Then God spoke to His [C] only Son
[G] And told him that his job was [C] done
When that [G] last nail was [D] finally driven [G] home.
Chorus; Instrumental
[Em] The proof lay in those nail [C] scarred hands
[Em] So every heart could [C] understand
He sent a [G] carpenter to [D] build His kingdom [C] here
He sent a [G] carpenter to [D] build His kingdom [G]here
