As sung by Johnny Cash |
D7 G A7
Jesus was a carpenter, and he worked with a saw and a hammer;
D D7 g A7
And his hands could form a table true enough to stand forever,
D G D A7
And he might have spun his life out in the coolness of the mornings;
D G D G
But he put aside his tools, and he walked the burning highways
D A7
To build a house for folk like you and me.
Verse2
D D7 G A7
And he found them as they wandered through the wild Judean mountains;
D D7 G A7
And he found them as they pulled their nets upon the Sea of Galilee;
D G D A7
And for a thousand evenings, while the day behind him emptied,
D G D G
He walked among the poor. and he stopped to touch the dying,
D A7
And he built his house for people just like these.
Verse 3
D D7 G A7
It was on a shining Sunday when he rode to old Jerusalem;
D D7 G A7
And the palms they cast before him were the crimes they laid against him,
D G D A7
It was on a storming Friday when he climbed the streets to Calvary;
D G D G
And where he died today, why, they're selling beads and postcards;
D A7
And they tell us too, that that was long ago.
Verse 4
D D7 G A7
But would he stand today upon the sands of California;
D D7 G A7
Or walk the sweating blacktop in New York and Mississippi,
D G D A7
Where the mighty churches rise above the screaming cities,
d G D G
Would he be a guest on Sunday, a vagrant on a Monday,
D A7
With the doors locked tight against his kind, you know?
Verse 5
D D7 C A7
Come again, now Jesus, be a carpenter among us;
D D7 G A7
There are chapels in our discontent, cathedrals in our sorrows;
D G D A7
And we dwell in golden mansions, with the sand for our foundations,
D G D G
And the raging water's rising, and the thunder's all around us.
D A7
Won't you come and build a house on rock again?
