When the Carpenter Came
The rain was falling down
my roof began to leak
So I called a Carpenter
Whose shop was up the street
I told Him to come quickly
He promised that He would
It wasn’t long till I heard Him knock
On that front porch He stood
With Wisdom in His eyes
And a toolbox in His hand
I told Him I was desperate
And He seemed to understand
I didn’t know what was in store
That dark and rainy day
When The Carpenter
when The Carpenter came
I asked Him to come in
He set His tools down on the floor
He seemed to know His way around
Like He’d seen the place before
Right away He went to work
And He knew just what to do
In no time flat, He fixed the roof
And I thought that He was through
But then He tore down one whole wall
Didnt ask me if He could
At first I was furious
But then I saw the rotten wood
He told me not to worry
He'd build it back like new
He said it might take some time
But He’d stay to see it through
With Wisdom in His eyes
And a toolbox in His hand
I thought He came to patch things up
But He had bigger plans
After all He’s done for me
I won’t forget the day
When the Carpenter
When the Carpenter came
He’s still at work today
And He says that He won’t stop
Until this house is perfect
From the bottom to the top
I’ve learned that I can trust Him
So I’ll wait patiently
And if it takes forever
We’ll that’s OK with me.
With Wisdom in His eyes
And a toolbox in His hand
I thought He came to patch things up
But He had bigger plans
After all He’s done for me
I won’t forget the day
When the Carpenter
When the Carpenter came
