The Carpenter's Hands Lyrics

He worked in silence, shaping the wood

In a little shop where the sawdust stood

A boy of twelve with a father's trade

Learning the craft where his hands were laid

The nails he held were humble and small

Foreshadowing a greater call

Oh, the carpenter's hands, how they mold and they make

Through splinters and time, for love's great sake

The world's redemption, the plan so grand

Was carried in the carpenter's hands

Years would pass, the wood set aside

As he walked the shores and healed the blind

Each touch he gave, a life was restored

Every gesture, a glimpse of the Lord

Yet shadows loomed on a hill so high

Where his hands would one day be lifted to die

Oh, the carpenter's hands, now scarred and torn

Bearing the weight of the world's scorn

Through blood and pain, he built the span

Bridging heaven with the carpenter's hands

Hands that blessed the children, hands that calmed the sea

Hands that washed the feet of those who would deny thee

And though they pierced him through, love held him to the tree

The carpenter's hands for you and me

Three days passed, the stone rolled away

Victory dawned on that Sunday

The hands once broken reached out to the lost

Inviting the world to embrace the cross

And now they build mansions in glory divine

Preparing a place for your soul and mine

Oh, the carpenter's hands, they cradle the throne

Guiding the weary, calling his own

From manger to grave and skies where he stands

We are held in the carpenter's hands

The carpenter's hands still reach through the years

Wiping our sorrows, calming our fears

The Savior who builds what no man can

Our hope is safe in the carpenter's hands

Thank you for watching

All songs from Layne McDonald give back to charities

So please share, listen, and get the music out to the masses

Together, we can change so many lives!
