[Verse 1]
G                                          D
O humble carpenter, down on Your hands and knees
G                                                    Em     D   A
 Look on Your handiwork and build a house so You may dwell   in    me
           Em     D/F#   A
So You may dwell   in    me

[Chorus 1]
G                  D                Bm
 The work was done  with nothing but
         A                       G
Wood and nails in your scar-born hands
              D                 Bm
O show me how  to work and praise
            A            Bm  G
Trusting that I am Your instrument

[Verse 2]
G                                         D
O loving laborer with the sweat upon your face
G                                                Em   D/F#   A
 O, build a table that I too may join You in the Fa - ther's place
          Em   D/F#   A
O, in the Fa - ther's place

[Chorus 1]
G                 D                Bm
The work was done  with nothing but
         A                       G
Wood and nails in your scar-born hands
              D                 Bm
O show me how  to work and praise
         A                Bm  G
Trusting that I am your instrument

[Chorus 2]
                   D              Bm7
The kingdom's come  and built upon
         A                     Bm       G
Wood and nails gripped with joy - ful - ness
              D                 Bm7
So send me out, within Your ways
        A                Bm    G
Knowing that the task is fin - ished

[Chorus 3]
                   D                   Bm7
The dead will rise  and give You praise
         A              Bm        G
Wood and nails will not hold them down
                   D                   Bm7
These wooden tombs, we'll break them soon
            A         Bm     G
And fashion them into flower beds
                  D              Bm7
The curse is done,  the battle won
            A          Bm    G
Swords bent down into plow - shares
                     D                    Bm7
Your scar-born hands,  we'll join with them
        A                        G
Serving at the table You've pre - pared
