Anderson Maples: Music
The Carpenter
(Anderson Maples)
There was a Carpenter, down from Galilee;
Learned how from his dad, it ran in the family
wonders with a simple piece of wood;
He was such a good man, but so misunderstood, so misunderstood
(Chorus)
He was always on the level; He was always square
He never missed a cut; Not even by a hair, not even by a hair
The Carpenter came to the Jerusalem, redemption on His mind;
I chose to follow him, to live this world behind
He made the lame to walk, He made the blind to see
He did amazing things, in simple men like me, in simple men like me
(Chorus)
They killed this Carpenter, lifted Him high;
"Father, it is finished" was His final cry
He bled and died on that simple piece of wood
He was such a good man but so misunderstood,
still so misunderstood
(Chorus 2x)
