Carpenter
Words and Music by Anna Rundall


He is the man who loves me more than any other
He is down to earth and peaceful in his ways
In His eyes I find compassion when I need it
and he cherishes the times we talk each day
Some people say, "He's just a simple carpenter"
Well, I like a man who works with his two hands
With those hands he healed the lame and sent them walking
There is nothing that this carpenter can't do

He's the one who lifts me up when I am lonely
for his presence and his sensitivity
Though at times he has the world upon his shoulders
still I feel like he has only eyes for me
Some people say, "He's just a simple carpenter"
Well, I like a man who builds, with his two hands,
a mansion in the sky to last forever
There is nothing like a home that's built for me

There is only one thing I've been asked to offer
It's to give my life to Him, like He gave His
Some people say, "He's just a simple carpenter"
To me, He is the one True love there is.....
