Randy Travis – The Carpenter Lyrics  Share

From Randy Travis's album: Inspirational Journey

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 life
Than just working with his hands.

And 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 brother
Treat your brother like a friend
Always turn the other cheek
Help the weary and the weak
Make the time for young and old
And as your life unfolds
Each kindness that you^,ve shown
Will be the nails and hammers
As you build your final ladder
In the manner of the carpenter of old.

--- Instrumental ---

You could feel compassion in his eyes
But, Only fools that hurt him did not realize
[ The Carpenter lyrics from

That he was speaking to us all
The righteous and the mighty
The silent and the small.

And 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 brother
Treat your brother like a friend
Always turn the other cheek
Help the weary and the weak
Make the time for young and old
And as your life unfolds
Each kindness that you^,ve shown
Will be the nails and hammers
As you build your final ladder
In the manner of the carpenter of old.

He was just a carpenter by trade
He learned from his father at a very early age...
