Emmanuel Faith Community Church Worship Arts - Wood and Nails

Oh humble carpenter
Down on your hands and knees
Look on your handiwork
And build a house
So you may dwell in Me
So you may dwell in Me

The work was done with nothing but
Wood and nails in Your scar-borne hands
Oh show me how to work and praise
Trusting that I am Your instrument

Oh loving laborer
With the sweat upon your face
Oh build a table that
I too may join you
In the Father's place
Oh in the Father's place

The Kingdom's come and built upon
Wood and nails gripped with joyfulness
So send me out, within Your ways
Knowing that the task is finished

The dead will rise and give You praise
Wood and nails will not hold them down
These wooden tombs, we'll break them soon
And fashion them into flower beds

The curse is done, the battle won
Swords bent down into plowshares
Your scar-borne hands, we'll join with them
Serving at the table You've prepared

Oh humble carpenter
