Carpenter Lyrics

Carpenter carpenter wont you build us a home
One true and straight where our children may grow
Built on a foundation made of stone
Carpenter carpenter wont you build us a home
My darling sweet darling I will do what I can
Oh to build you a home with my own two hands
Ill build it strong build it tall so you may see it throughout the land
My darling sweet darling I will draw up the plan
Carpenter carpenter, oh a family we will raise
And in the yard of our home is where our children will play
And we will thank the Lord for the rest of our days
Carpenter carpenter oh a family we will raise
My darling sweet darling I will work through bitter cold
oh the frame to the walls on which a roof they will hold
And we will sit on our porch and stories will be told

About a carpenter and his bride and their hand built home
Carpenter carpenter we shed blood sweat and tears
And we will share in this home for the rest of our years
And when its stormy outside we will draw each other near
Oh with our house built on the rock we need not fear
My darling sweet darling there is little more to do
For I finished the walls and I painted them blue
And I will carry you through the door of our house so new
My darling sweet darling I built this house for you
