Randy Travis - The Carpenter Lyrics
He was just a carpenter by trade.He learned from his father at a very early age.There was something special in the man,there was much more to his lifethan just working with his handsand He'd say There's no home I could design that would match the one you'd find, when you leave this world behind, if you only took the time.Chorus:Love your neighbour like your brothertreat your brother like a friendalways turn the other cheekhelp the weary and the weakmake the time for young and oldand as your life unfoldseach kindness that you've shownwill be the nails and hammersas you build your final ladderin the manner of the carpenter of oldYou could feel compassion in his eyesonly fools that hurt him did not realizeThat he was speaking to us allthe righteous and the mightythe silent and the smalland He'd say There's no home I could design that would match the one you'd find, when you leave this world behind, if you'd only take the time.Chorus:Love your neighbour like your brothertreat your brother like a friendalways turn the other cheekhelp the weary and the weakmake the time for young and oldand as your life unfoldseach kindness that you've shownwill be the nails and hammersas you build your final ladderin the manner of the carpenter of oldHe was just a carpenter by trade.He learned from his father at a very early age.
