The Carpenter

1. When I carry my broken things to God
He studies the prices with care
He looks for all of the splinters.
Which may prick and cut and tare

Chorus
Jesus in the Carpenter
His work is never done
He takes up any broken heart
To make a better one.
Yes, Jesus is the Carpenter
Yes, Jesus is the one
In labor of love He works with us
And lo! His zeal has won.

2. When I carry my broken dreams to Him
His comfort is real and true
Filled with compassion He sets me straight
For He loves me through and through.

3. Them He seals the rough jagged edges
Its with planning and sweat and toil
His hands are strong like a Carpenter’s vise
His touch as smooth as oil.
