G In a manger C filled with hay     G The virgin mother's C baby lay  
G While shepherds stood there C trembling at the D sight 
{G}This child was the C King of Kings 
G But God who knows and C sees all things 
Sent a G simple man to D show the world the G light 
 
Chorus: 
He sent a C carpenter, a C carpenter to Am build His kingdom {G}here 
C A carpenter, He sent a C carpenter 
To Am build on faith not D fear 
Em The proof lay in those nail C scarred hands 
Em So every heart could C understand 
He sent a G carpenter to D build His kingdom C here 
 
G His father's C house here on earth 
G Was built on faith and C by His works 
G Grew strong just like the C rock it stood D upon 
G Then God spoke to His C only Son 
G And told him that his job was C done 
When that G last nail was D finally driven G home. 
 
Chorus; Instrumental 
 
Em The proof lay in those nail C scarred hands 
Em So every heart could C understand 
He sent a G carpenter to D build His kingdom C here 
He sent a G carpenter to D build His kingdom {G}here
