THE carpenter came down from Galilee
He was baptized, a prophecy fulfilled
And He said I’ve to build something there to be,
Oh what did the carpenter build?
His teaching oppose satan’s center plan,
Who degree that His voice should be stilled.
With those nails that were piecing His feet and hands
Oh what did the Carpenter build?
What else but a church that my Saviour willed.
For souls whose sins are set free.
Here my heart’s happy echo.
What else did the built? A Mansion in heaven for me,
(for me, for me)
A mansion in heaven for me
Through this plain simple man
Raised in Nazareth
The purpose of God was fulfilled
He return good for bad
Even in His death
And what did the carpenter built?
