Lyrics: 
Oh, 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-borne hands
Oh, show me how to work and praise
Trusting that I am Your instrument

Oh, loving Laborer, with the sweat upon Your face
Oh, build a table, that I too may join You in the Father's place
Oh, in the Father's place

The work was done with nothing but
Wood and nails in Your scar-borne hands
Oh, 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 joyfulness
Oh, send me out, within Your ways
Knowing that the task is finished

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 plowshares
Your scar-bourne hands, we'll join with them
Serving at the table You've prepared

Oh, humble Carpenter
